VIN (Vehicle identification number)
What are the defects?
The driving range indicator may provide inaccurate information about the distance that may be driven before refuelling, due to a programming error in the Combination Meter Display (CMD) unit. The low fuel warning light will still illuminate when the fuel level is critically low.
What are the hazards?
Drivers who rely solely on the indicated driving range (without reference to the fuel level indicator), may inadvertently run out of fuel. If a vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will stall and may not be able to be restarted. Inability to restart a stalled engine could cause a safety risk to the vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted and asked to arrange to present their vehicles for the rectification work to be carried out free of charge.
