Defect
In the air conditioning unit's PTC heater, the electrical wiring is improperly secured. During vehicle operation, vibration causes the wiring to move, wearing the terminals. Continued use increases resistance between the terminals, generating abnormal heat and smoke. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may result.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the PTC heater with a corrected part.
