I was reading your recall notice 14v-743 I called my Toyota service dept and they said this only applied to vehicles that went thru the southeast Toyota distributors, I believe mine went through gulf states Toyota in houston. My wife noticed a burning smell when I used my seat heaters so I have quit using them. Would this problem apply to all cars listed in the southeast Toyota bulletin or only cars that went thru their facility?.

Soon after purchasing the used car, when driving on the interstate, the driver's seat started heating up. Outside temperature was 100 degrees so heater was not turned on. It kept getting hotter and was almost impossible to sit on while driving to destination. When contacting a dealership was told there was no service bulletin on it. It finally quit on it's own and have never used it again. Just read in consumer reports that there is a recall on seat heaters. Have one recall number on seat heater problems that were in the article (set16b). Have been unable to find any additional information on this problem.
