Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with manual temperature control (mtc) only. The software programmed into the heating ventilation and air conditioning module may cause the windshield defrosting and defogging functions to become inoperative.
Why it matters: This can decrease the driver's visibility under certain driving conditions and result in a crash without warning.
The fix: Dealers will reprogram the HVAC module free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before August 3, 2009.
