Details
What's wrong: On some passenger vehicles, certain electric cooling fans could be inadequate in a hot climate. Under certain circumstances, excessive heat could be generated.
Why it matters: Should this occur, the engine cooling fan components could overheat and cause the melting of electrical connections and adjacent components, increasing the likelihood of a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the engine cooling fan. Owner notification began April 1, 2002.
