The notchy or sticky operation may be caused by an uneven application of the grease during the switch assembly process at the supplier. If the grease is not applied evenly, frequent use of the switch and normal operation may cause the grease to become carbonised and may eventually result in the deterioration of its lubricating properties.
The remedy will involve an inspection, switch disassembly, and application of special fluorine grease. The switch inspection and repair will be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner. It is currently compiling a complete list of involved vehicles and will soon contact all vehicle owners to inform them of the campaign.
