(Supersedes 11-057, dated September 7, 2011, to revise the information marked by the black bars and asterisks)
REVISION SUMMARY
*An example of the customer letter was added.*
BACKGROUND
If silicone based cleaning agents are used near the master power window switch, the residue can adhere to the switches circuit board which may cause accelerated wear. As a result, the switch may overheat and melt, causing smoke, preventing the window to be rolled up or down, and the possibility of a fire.
