Recall 1991003

The issue

VEHICLES BUILT WITHOUT THE AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER ENTRY AT THE WINDSHIELD COWL ABOVE THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK. MOISTURE CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR TERMINALS COULD CAUSE AN INCREASE IN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE WHICH COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN A COWL AREA FIRE. CORRECTION: BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK WILL BE REPLACED AND A MASTIC PATCH WILL BE APPLIED TO SEAL THE COWL AGAINST WATER ENTRY. ALREADY DAMAGED WIRING CONNECTORS WILL ALSO BE REPLACED AS REQUIRED.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules qui ne sont pas équipés du système de commande automatique de la température, il se peut que de l'eau s'infiltre par le capot situé audessus du bloc de résistance du moteur du ventilateur de la chaufferette. La corrosion des bornes de la résistance causée par l'humidité peut faire augmenter la résistance et donc surchauffer le moteur du ventilateur. Un incendie peut alors se produire à ce endroit.
