ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
IN MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL THERMOSTAT VERY OCCASSIONALLY MALFUNCTIONS AND OVERHEATS. IT BECOMES VERY HOT, ALMOST TOO HOT TO TOUCH AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING BURNS. IT APPEARS POWER CYCLING THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. HOWEVER, IT STILL CAN TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES TO COOL DOWN TO A SAFE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CAN BECOME VERY DANGEROUS WHEN OPERATING A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
