When the direction indicator is activated on the vehicles mentioned above, customers have complained that the daytime running light dims or switches off on the opposite side.
The reason for this problem is that the connections are the wrong way round on the connector in the dashboard relay box.
The vehicle manufacturer has already addressed the issue and notified the owners of all the affected models. For various reasons, however, it must be assumed that not all vehicles have been checked or modified.
When the affected vehicles are taken to a specialist garage, the positions of the WT/GN (white/green) and WT/BL (white/blue) cables are swapped round on the connector (relay box/dashboard).
