The issue

FAULTY FUSE BLOCK WIRING TERMINALS MAY RESULT IN AN INADEQUATE CLAMPING LOAD AT THE POSITIVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR FUSE BLADES. THIS MAY CAUSE AN INCREASE IN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE THAT COULD OVERHEAT AND POSSIBLY IGNITE THE FUSE BLOCK AND TERMINAL WIRING, RESULTING IN AN INSTRUMENT PANEL FIRE. CORRECTION: FUSE BLOCK TERMINAL WILL BE MODIFIED TO ENSURE ADEQUATE CLAMP LOAD ON THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR FUSE BLADES.

Description (français)

Les bornes de jonction du porte-fusibles peuvent être défectueuses, ce qui peut signifier un serrage insuffisant de la connection électrique positive du fusible du moteur du ventilateur de la chaufferette. Cela peut faire augmenter la résistance qui peut faire surchauffer et possiblement enflammer la boîte des fusibles et les câbles et causer un incendie dans le tableau de bord.
