For scale, 3,020 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 6 months.
Defect
On vehicles equipped with a fleet information system, the body control unit (body controller) software is incorrect.

This may cause components controlled by the unit—including the hazard lamps and air conditioning fan—to malfunction.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the body control unit.
