The Smart Junction Box (SJB) software logic may not properly interpret the signals received from the multifunction switch, which could cause the turn signal to activate in the opposite direction of what the driver intended.
A turn signal activating in the opposite direction of what was intended by the driver increases the risk of a crash.
What to do
Dealers will update the SJB software free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 12, 2021.
