Recall 2012275

The issue

On certain vehicles, an instrument panel harness connector could melt, which may cause a loss of headlamp function. Loss of headlamp illumination, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, or during hours of darkness, could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will remove the harness connector and permanently join the wires.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un raccord de faisceau du tableau de bord pourrait fondre; à cause de cela, les phares pourraient cesser de fonctionner. Si les phares cessaient de fonctionner lors d'une journée pluvieuse/neigeuse ou lorsqu'il fait noir, cela pourrait empêcher le conducteur de voir la route et ses usagers, ce qui pourrait causer un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront enlever le raccord du faisceau et relier les fils de façon permanente.
