Your 2020 Tundra's front passenger seat caught fire while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied, causing the seat to burn and melt before the fire extinguished itself. The fire originated from the heated seat function with no warning lights beforehand. The dealer identified that the seat heater needs to be replaced, but the vehicle has not been repaired.

Your seat headrests slip out of position easily and may come loose during an accident, which could reduce their ability to protect against whiplash injury. You've noticed this issue since purchasing the vehicle, though it hasn't been inspected by a dealer. Fixing this would likely involve replacing or adjusting the headrest mounting mechanism.
