What is wrong
CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 101, "CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS." THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CONTROLS FOR THE HAZARD WARNING SIGNAL, HEATING/AIR-CONDITIONING FAN, AND WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING SYSTEM HAS ONLY ONE LEVEL OF BRIGHTNESS AND IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE CORRECT BRIGHTNESS SHOULD PROVIDE AT LEAST TWO LEVELS OF BRIGHTNESS AND BE ADJUSTABLE.
What can happen
IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR DURING A NIGHT-TIME SITUATION THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
