Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a european specification tachometer that uses brake-system telltales/symbols that do not meet u.s. Requirements.

Why it matters: In the event of an ABS system problem, only the the outer circle of the symbol illuminates, not the ABS letters. As such, the driver may be unaware that there is a problem with the ABS, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: All affected vehicles have been repaired at dealerships. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign.
