Recall 1998023

The issue

THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 101 - CONTROL LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION. THE INTERIOR LAMPS MAY TURN ON BY THEMSELVES, FIVE TO THIRTY MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF BY THE SWITCH. THE LAMP CONTROL MODULE WILL TURN THEM OFF AFTER THIRTY MINUTES. IF THE INTERIOR LAMPS TURN ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN AT NIGHT, THE INCREASED GLARE COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE OBJECTS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. CORRECTION: LAMP CONTROL MODULE WILL BE TESTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.

Description (français)

Ces véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 101 - Place et identification des commandes. Il se peut que les appareils d’éclairage intérieurs s’allument tout seuls cinq à trente minutes après le démarrage sans que l’on puisse les éteindre avec le commutateur. (Le module d’éclairage les éteindra trente minutes plus tard.) Si les lampes intérieures s’allument quand on roule la nuit, l’intensification des reflets peut faire en sorte qu’il soit plus difficile de voir à l’extérieur du véhicule.Correction : Le module d’éclairage devra être vérifié et remplacé au besoin.
