What Happened
Your vehicle's interior lighting system has a problem: the instrument panel lights are always on at full brightness and can't be adjusted.
Risk if Unfixed
If this isn't fixed, it could be harder to see outside your vehicle when driving at night, which might increase the risk of an accident.
Free Fix
The dealership will replace the fuel type indicator switch assembly, which controls the instrument panel illumination, at no cost to you.
