What is wrong

On certain vehicles, if the vent window switch (located in the driver's door armrest) is exposed to liquids, it could overheat. An overheated vent switch could result in a burning odour, smoke, or fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the switch with an updated design.
