Defect
In the auto-dimming interior mirror, the root cause has not yet been identified; however, a short circuit in the mirror's electronic circuit may cause the resin components to melt and produce smoke. In the worst case, the control fuse may blow, preventing the engine from starting.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, as an interim measure, disconnect the auto-dimming interior mirror connector. Once the root cause is identified, the mirror will be replaced with the corrected part.
