VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES. SOME HEATER/DEFROSTER UNITS WERE BUILT WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR WIRED IMPROPERLY. WHEN WIRED IMPROPERLY THE BLOWER MOTOR RUNS BACKWARD AND AIRFLOW FOR HEATING AND DEFROSTING IS VERY LIMITED. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 103, “WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING SYSTEMS.”
What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
