Due to variations in the production quality of electrical components from the supplier, the background illumination of the IC may fail. Under certain conditions if the vehicle is driven after the background illumination fails, the IC fuse may blow causing a total failure of the IC. The dealer will check the IC part number and replace if necessary.

Notes:
(1) Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. Call your dealer to verify that this campaign is required on your vehicle.
(2) If you paid to have this condition repaired, provide adequate documentation (i.e.: dealer invoice) to support a non-warranty repair to be eligible for reimbursement.
