What can happen

Safety consequence

A RESISTOR IN THE ELECTRONIC PANEL CLUSTER MAY BE SUBJECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT OVERLOAD DUE TO FAILURE OF A SWITCHING TRANSISTOR. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE OVERHEATED RESISTOR COULD IGNITE AND START AN INSTRUMENT PANEL FIRE.

What fixes it

Official remedy

MODIFY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER BY REPLACING THE RESISTOR WITH A FUSED RESISTOR THAT WILL NOT IGNITE IF OVERLOADED.
