CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this recall. An example of the customer notification is shown in this service bulletin. Not all
vehicles within the VIN ranges are affected by this recall. Before beginning work on a vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these
items:

^
The vehicle is shown as eligible on an iN VIN status inquiry.
In addition to the bulleted verification items, check for a punch mark above the 12th character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that
location means the combination light switch has already been repaired.
