Defect
The electric water-heating heater was designed with insufficient consideration of the heater element's durability, leaving certain elements unable to withstand long-term use. Continued operation causes internal damage to the element, which may cause the heater to stop functioning. In the worst case, defroster performance degrades, making it difficult to clear fogging or frost from the front windshield.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the electric water-heating heater with a corrected part.
