## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with manual temperature control, the software programmed into the heating, ventilation and air conditioning \(HVAC\) module may cause the windshield defrosting and defogging functions to become inoperative.  This may decrease the driver's visibility under certain driving conditions and result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the HVAC module software.
