Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles were built with an ignition switch and wiring that could overheat. High electrical current loads pass through the switch when the blower motor is operated on high for an extended periods of time.

Why it matters: This could cause the ignition switch and wiring to overheat.

The fix: Dealers will install a relay and overlay harness.
