Hot toggle control knob

[Lima-GV]

Fellow GV70 owners, I’ve noticed that the toggle control knob (used to navigate the infotainment menus) gets quite hot. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think it could be a sign of a problem or potentially harmful in any way?

What model year? If you're referring to the rotary Controller/Touchpad in front of the rotary Gear Shift Knob, then no, I haven't noticed it getting hot in our 2022.

Mine is a 2025 model, and yes, it is the rotary controller/touchpad. I drove a couple hundred miles today and noticed that at some point during the drive, this part became abnormally hot.

I haven't noticed but definitely will check it out next time we're out and about.

I have never noticed mine getting hot

Forgot to update community on hot knob, so here is the latest. Despite dealer service stating initially that hot knob is not abnormal, the knob was replaced and it is not getting hot anymore. Some would think this issue is closed and done. Not at all! The tech who did the job scratched aluminum trim and all plastic parts on center console he could touch with his screwdriver. Now I am waiting for new parts to be installed. So, the saga is going on. I will keep all posted on development.
