Recall 00V201000: Instrument Panel Lamp Intensity

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with the Bi-Fuel option fail to comply with FMVSS No. 101, "Control Location, Identification, and Illumination."

The instrument panel lights in these vehicles are at full illumination levels and cannot be adjusted. The standard requires at least two levels of illumination. This could make it more difficult to see objects outside the vehicle when driving at night.

Dealers will replace the fuel type indicator switch assembly, which includes the instrument panel illumination control.
