SAFETY RECALL J011: Instrument Cluster Speaker Function
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
The instrument cluster speaker wires may fracture as a consequence of an overly aggressive "tick-tock" sound wave form, the volume of which is vehicle
speed dependent. At higher vehicle speeds the wave form has an amplitude which aggravates the condition where the speaker wires could fail.
In the event of a speaker failure, the following audible notifications will cease to function:
^ Directional indicators
^ Seat belt warning
^ Lights 'on' warning
^ Driver's door open with ignition 'on'
^ Driver intervention (Adaptive Cruise Control equipped vehicles only)
^ Seat memory
NOTE:
The software update is to prevent instrument cluster speaker failure only. Should there be any other concerns with the instrument cluster speaker,
diagnose and if required repair following normal procedures separate from this Recall action.
Action:
Dealers are required to verify instrument cluster speaker functions correctly and without distortion and reconfigure the instrument cluster as per the
Repair Procedure outlined below.
PARTS:
No parts necessary
