Notes

DUE TO INSUFFICIENT SWITCH DETENT ACTION, THE CIRCUITS MAY NOT BE COMPLETE INEITHER THE "OFF" OR THE "ON" POSITIONS.THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF TURNSIGNAL AND/OR BRAKE LAMP FUNCTION WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE "OFF" POSITION, ANDCOMPLETEOR PARTIAL LOSS OF THE HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE"ON" POSITION.(CORRECT BY INSPECTING AND REPLACING WARNING SYSTEM.)

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
