Visibility (wipers, glass) Vehicle recall #00V355000 · 2000 · 11,400 vehicles
What's wrong: 6l engines. A coolant flow blockage exists at the intake manifold heater core nipple resulting in no coolant flow to the heater and, therefore, no warm air flow from the heater or windshield defroster. Vehicles with this condition do not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 103, "windshield defrosting and defogging systems."
Why it matters: Loss of visibility could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Customers will be asked to verify, following instructions provided, that heated air flows from their vehicle's heater/defroster outlets. The customers will be advised to contact their dealers to make arrangements for repair of their vehicles if no heated air flow exists at these outlets.
