For scale, 130 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 9 months.
Defect
The power supply terminal layout of the blower motor is incorrect, allowing conductive foreign material to accumulate on the terminal section. Continued use causes the accumulated material to create a short circuit, melting the terminal and rendering the defroster inoperable.
