What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

DURING CONTINUOUS HEATER/BLOWER OPERATION, INSUFFICIENT CONTACT BETWEEN THE METAL PART OF THE FUSE AND THE FUSE HOLDER MAY GENERATE EXCESSIVE HEAT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF LONGER FUSE WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. IS INSTALLED, EXCESSIVE HEAT COULD CAUSE THE INSULATION ON THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AROUND THE FUSE BOX TO MELT; THE HEATER AND DEFROSTER WOULD FAIL, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.

The remedy

REPLACE FUSE IN THE HEATER/BLOWER CIRCUIT WITH A CIRCUIT BREAKER.

Notes

SYSTEM: ELECTRICAL/FUSE BLOCK.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRUCK CHASSIS CABS.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
