The issue
Certain vehicles were built with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control knobs that may fracture and spin on the control shaft. If this happens, the driver may no longer be able to control the heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle. This may affect the defrost system, decreasing driver visibility, and creating the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace all HVAC control knobs.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les commutateurs de chauffage, de ventilation et de climatisation pourraient casser et tourner librement sur l’arbre de commande, empêchant ainsi le conducteur de contrôler le chauffage, la ventilation et la climatisation. Cela pourrait toucher le système de dégivrage, réduire la visibilité pour le conducteur et poser des risques d’accident causant des dommages matériels, des blessures ou des décès. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer tous les commutateurs.
