The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system may fail.  If this occurs, the blower would not function properly and the mode selector would remain in the last known setting.  If the windshield began to fog or frost, there may not be enough airflow to safely clear the windshield, resulting in reduced driver visibility, which may lead to a vehicle crash with injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the HVAC control head module.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"08388","part_number":null,"units":14,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Chaufferette et dégivreur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 103 – dégivrage et désembuage de pare brise. Le système à CVC (chauffage, ventilation et climatisation) pourrait faire défaut. Si cela se produisait, le ventilateur ne fonctionnerait pas adéquatement et le sélecteur de mode demeurerait dans le dernier réglage connu. Si le pare brise commençait à s’embuer ou à givrer, il pourrait ne pas y avoir un débit d’air suffisant pour dégager le pare brise suffisamment pour que l’on puisse circuler en toute sécurité, ce qui diminuerait la visibilté du conducteur et pourrait causer un accident, blesser quelqu’un ou entraîner des pertes de vie.
