Defect
The combination meter has an improperly designed circuit configuration. Prolonged exposure to moisture inside the cabin can cause condensation to form on the meter circuit board, leading to a short circuit in the power supply circuit. This may cause the circuit board to emit smoke and, in the worst case, result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, clean the power supply circuit section of the combination meter circuit board and apply a moisture-resistant coating treatment.
