Check Campaigns/Actions screen in Elsa on the day of repair to verify that a VIN qualifies for repair under this action.  Elsa is the only valid campaign inquiry & verification source. 

  • Campaign status must show “open.”
  • If Elsa shows other open action(s), inform your customer so that the work can also be completed at the same time the vehicle is in the workshop for this campaign.
Problem Description High humidity in the panoramic sunroof ambient lighting bar LED module (caused by environment or by leaving the sunroof open) could lead to a local short circuit. If this happens, there is a risk of a fire.
Corrective Action
  • Customer owned vehicles only: Disable the power supply to the panoramic sunroof LED module. In the future, a service action will be implemented to safely reactivate the feature.
  • Vehicles in dealer new vehicle inventory: Disable the power supply to the panoramic sunroof LED module. Install updated Monroney label.
Precautions A burning odor or smoke coming from the front of the sunroof frame indicates that the sunroof LED module may have short circuited.

If this happens, DO NOT continue driving and DO NOT open the sunroof. Doing so will only increase the risk of fire. Get safely away from the vehicle and dial 911 for emergency assistance. DO NOT attempt to extinguish a vehicle fire on your own.
