2004 Accord EX-L, front seats
 

I have the above vehicle, about 1.5 years old, 11k miles. The front seat
leather is starting to tear around the threads at the points where one
typically first comes into contact when getting in. This is on both sides,
though I rarely have a passenger in the vehicle.

Anyone know of any TSBs or similar occurrences for this that I can use
before I go back to the dealer?

There aren't any TSB's relative to the seats in your car.
Why worry about any TSB's? Take it to your dealer. Providing you haven't
abused or maliciously caused the separation of the seam, there should be no
question as to the warranty of this if you are still under warranty. You
should be under waaranty because the car is less than 36 months old and has
less than 36,000 miles. A warranty covers "defects in manufacture" or
"failure in service". If there was no external influence to cause this seam
to separate other than it's own failure, you should have no problem getting
it covered. Let us know how you make out. Good luck.

Oh, I'm not worried about it, but if it is a recurring problem, it would be
just that much more information to have.

I'll post how it goes........
