B18060B2018-07-16. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE; EQUIPMENT; STRUCTURE:BODY. Servicenews article - The area where the lower dashboard meets the A-pillar base has sealer that's applied by automation. But because that automation can't reach every nook and cranny, someone must then spread the sealer with a small squeegee. This can result in pin holes in the sealer or the sealer even being pulled away from the area. Under wet conditions, this can cause water leakage onto the front floorboard on the driver's and/or front passenger's side.

Lodged debris contacting the screen can cause a false input, resulting in this issue. And since that gap widens and narrows with cabin temperature, this issue can be intermittent, especially in cold weather.
