On certain vehicles, a wiring harness connector for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning blower motor located under the passenger’s side of the instrument panel may be subject to kicking by the passenger’s feet.

If the insulation melts and the exposed wires make contact, a fire may result. Dealers will inspect damaged connectors and install a protective cover.
