Official summary
Some customers may complain about one or both of the following symptoms: When selecting the "Defroster Vents" position (2) with the Mode Selector Dial (1), the dial does not stay in the "Defroster Vents" position and returns to the "Defroster/Floor Vents" position (3). When rotating the Mode Selector Dial (1) to the "Defroster Vents" position (2), it may be difficult to tell if the Mode Selector Dial is firmly in the "Defroster Vents" position. This concern may be due to a production variation. Some of the mode control wires (1) may be too long to transmit movement from the mode selector dial
Vehicles covered
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.
