A method of locally heat treating a structural member (346) for a vehicle component, comprises placing the structural member into a fixture including a first element (761) having a first layer that is electrically conductive and a second element (762) having a first layer that is electrically conductive; moving at least one of the first and second elements into contact with the structural member; imparting a pressure into the structural member by at least one of the first and second elements; passing a current through the electrically conductive first layers of the first and second elements to effect at least one heat treated area in the structural member; and stopping the current and releasing the pressure from the structural member.
