What's wrong, in plain English

On certain 2020-2021 Porsche Taycan vehicles, the wire harness for the driver or passenger seat may become damaged when the seat is adjusted from side to side. A damaged wire harness in the seat may turn off the air bags for that seat. Dealers will check the seat wire harness for damage, add tape to help hold it in place, and repair any damaged wires.
