0001222 Dealer Repair Information
During cold weather operation (below -10F), there may be a squealing or
chattering noise coming from the speedometer/meter cluster area.
Grease in the speedo cable climbs upward and enters the speedo head
adhering to the rotating section. This grease then hardens during cold
temperatures and causes noise.
The grease in the speedometer cable has been changed to a low
temperature grease beginning March 28, 1994 mass-production.
To repair this concern, please replace the speedometer and cable
together, referring to the following parts list:
