The issue
On certain vehicles, a double battery (24 volt) jump start or electrical load dump could result in an overvoltage condition of the linear power module (LPM) which is used to control the heater/air conditioning blower motor speed. If this were to occur, this overvoltage condition could lead to the LPM overheating, causing smoke, and increase the risk of fire, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the LPM with an upgraded design.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, un démarrage-secours à l'aide de deux batteries (24 V) ou une coupure de l'alimentation électrique pourrait causer une surtension du module de puissance linéaire (LPM), qui sert à contrôler la vitesse du moteur de soufflante de chauffage/climatisation. Si cela se produit, cette surtension pourrait provoquer une surchauffe du module de puissance linéaire, ce qui produirait de la fumée et augmenterait les risques de déclenchement d'un feu pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le module de puissance linéaire par un modèle amélioré.
