Details
What's wrong: Fiberglass insulating material located under the burner head on the floor of the heater enclosure, can become soaked with fluids (ethylene glycol and/or diesel fuel).
Why it matters: If an electrical short occurs, a fire could result.
The fix: Vehicle systems Inc. will conduct the owner notification for this campaign. Dealers will remove the insulation from beneath the diesel heating unit as well as from behind the control thermostat and air-conditioning heating element access covers.
