Issue
On vehicles equipped with a cabin air conditioning system, operating the compressor at high speed while refrigerant level is insufficient causes compressor seizure. In the worst case, this may result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
Inspect all affected vehicles for remaining refrigerant level and compressor leaks. If the refrigerant level is at or below the specified threshold (50%) or if a leak is present, replace the compressor with a corrected part. If the refrigerant level is within specification, recharge the refrigerant.
