- [A20\-122](/bulletins/10226214.md), 2022-11-15, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; VISIBILITY. Service Bulletin \- REVISION SUMMARY \- Under WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION, a note was added. BACKGROUND Under severe conditions, water or other liquid may enter the driver’s window and reach the power window master switch on the door panel. Liquid in the switch can damage the switch’s printed circuit board \(PCB\), causing the switch to fail. In rare cases, the damaged PCB creates a short circuit that overheats the switch connectors and melts them, leading to a possible fire. All affected vehicles, even those previously repaired under S/B 12\-067, must have the driver's power window switch replaced under the current recall.
