Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 79V006000 by Checker Motors Corp.. Includes 5,553 affected units, HEATER:DEFROSTER:DEFOGGER AND VENTILATION, component: VISIBILITY, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

Vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 103, "windshield defrosting and defogging systems", due to a missing defroster air outlet hole in the instrument panel. Because the vehicles have only one outlet hole instead of two, as required, an inadequate supply of defroster air reaches the windshield. This results in a longer time period for complete defrosting.

Corrective Action

The dealer will drill the necessary 3/8 inch hole at no cost to owner.
