In the 36 states and District of Columbia with significant snowfall, snow may be tracked into the driverâs footwell area. Meltwater from this snow may enter the 4WD ECU located under the driverâs seat and, over time, damage the 4WD ECU circuit board components. This can lead to the illumination of the 4WD Warning Light and deactivation of the vehicleâs 4WD feature. If this occurs, the vehicle can continue to be driven in the front-wheel drive mode. This service campaign is to improve protection of the 4WD ECU against water intrusion.
