Safety Defect
The engine cooling fan of your car could be blocked or freeze to the fan shroud due to accumulation of ice, snow and slush when the car is operated
during certain combinations of heavy snows, high winds and below-freezing temperatures. If either the fan motor is automatically actuated (to lower the
engine coolant temperature) or the windshield defroster is manually activated while the engine cooling fan is frozen to the shroud, the engine cooling fan
motor and its wiring may overheat. In some cases a fire could result.
Repairs
At no charge to you, your dealer will install improved protection for the engine cooling fan motor electrical circuit of your car. Dealers currently have
instructions and parts ordering information.
How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer
period. Please call your dealer for a service date.
