Upon further investigation it was discovered that the fuel pump which is located under the back seat had hair line cracks that caused the fuel to spit out and damage the seal around it thereby damaging the underside of the back seat to infiltrate the the foam with the gasoline.  We tried to see if there were any recalls but found none.  I think that my back seat has only been used about 3 time since I purchased it new.  I wanted to draw to your attention that this could have been a safety issue and possible fire issue if someone were to smoke and lite a cigarette. My son has hopefully repaired the cracks this past week and hopefully it will hold.  I am [XXX] and cannot afford a new fuel pump.  Just wanted you to be aware that there could possibly be a safety problem with fuel pumps for this model.
