Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with a manual parking brake, the electrical switch which illuminates the parking brake warning light in the instrument cluster could become corroded. This could result in the parking brake warning light intermittently not illuminating when the parking brake is applied. A failure of the parking brake indicator to illuminate when the parking brake is applied can result in a driver misapplication of the parking brake, which may cause the following conditions: effect on vehicle acceleration, parking brake noise and/or parking brake “drag” and smoke and/or smell from driving with the applied parking brake. Correction: Dealers will replace the parking brake switch with a switch that revised contact material.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with the optional 7 inch LCD instrument cluster, there could be communication errors between the Audio, Visual, and Navigation (AVN) head unit and cluster. This could lead to the following symptoms: All warning lights illuminating, inaccurate speedometer/tachometer readings, no cluster illumination, turn signal indicators not illuminating when turn signals are activated and possibly a momentarily inoperative instrument cluster. Incorrect (or loss of) readings, messages, and warning lights displayed by the instrument cluster could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster with updated software.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the factory installed Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 tires could experience a rapid loss of air pressure due to a rupture of the sidewall under severe usage conditions. Rapid air loss could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective tires.
Summary
On certain vehicles, water could enter the rear combination lamp assemblies due to an improper seal. In some instances, accumulated water could affect the range switch signals. If this were to occur while the vehicle is stopped and the shifter were to be moved from Park to Reverse or Drive, or the shifter is moved from Drive to Reverse or Park, it could result in one or more of the following symptoms: the incorrect gear is displayed in the instrument panel, illumination of malfunction indicator lamp(s) and/or a delay in the engagement of the selected gear. An incorrect gear being selected could cause unintended vehicle movement, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will apply pads to prevent water intrusion into the combination lamp housing.
