Defect
On large express buses, sealant application at the rearview mirror heater harness pass-through holes in the left and right pillar sections may be inadequate. This allows water to enter through the holes during rain driving or washing. Continued operation in this condition may cause electrical components to malfunction.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify whether sealant has been applied at the mirror heater harness pass-through holes. Where sealant is absent, remove moisture from the harness and electrical components in the affected area and apply sealant.
