The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with Trans Air TA 73 evaporators, should an electrical short occur in the "low or medium speed" circuit of the blower power resistor, while the blower is in high speed, the short could cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse, but causing the resistor temperature to rise to a point where it will melt and possibly ignite the plastic blower housing to which it is mounted. In some cases, the overheating could cause a vehicle fire which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a fuse link to both blower resistors.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules munis d'évaporateurs Trans Air TA 73, si un court-circuit se produisait dans le circuit à vitesse lente ou moyenne de la résistance de puissance de la soufflante pendant que celle-ci fonctionne à vitesse élevée, le court-circuit ferait en sorte que la tension d'alimentation serait mise à la masse par l'intermédiaire de la résistance, ce qui ne prendrait pas assez de courant pour déclencher le fusible, mais ferait en sorte que la température de la résistance augmente au point où la résistance fondrait et pourrait enflammer le carter de soufflante en plastique auquel elle est fixée. Dans certains cas, la surchauffe pourrait provoquer un incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un fusible sur les deux résistances de soufflante.
