Details
What's wrong: A diode in the electronic climate control system may have a reduced service life.
Why it matters: If the diode fails, the heater fan stops operating and the defroster function is affected.
The fix: Dealers will install an adapter with a diode fitted to the heater fan motor. Owner notification began June 11, 2001.
