What NHTSA recorded

Intermittent disruption of the functions controlled by the steering wheel center touch pad can occur caused by electrical shortage inside the steering wheel assembly. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 104, "windhsield wiping and washing systems;" and no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment."

Possible consequence

Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can cause improper operation of the functions controlled by the touch pad. The function (1) fails to operate; (2) operates intermittently; or (3) operates unexpectedly, I.e. A function comes on without being switched on. Any of these could distract a driver increasing the potential for an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will repair the steering wheel center control assemblies to eliminate the electrical shorting.
