What’s wrong with it?
THE INDICATOR CONTROL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 101,”CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS”. THE CONTROL WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE DURING NIGHT OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.
THE INDICATOR FOR THE INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
