Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication advises the technician that some vehicles may have a dim Driver Information Center when the interior of the vehicle is hot from a sun load or extended heater operation. The Driver Information Center is designed to dim with high temperature exposure. This is done to protect the Driver Information Center from damage.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
