SAFETY RECALL J12 REPROGRAM HVAC CONTROL HEAD MODULE
MODELS:
2009 (DS) Dodge Truck (1500 Series)
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with a manual temperature control Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system (sales code HAA) built through December 19, 2008 (MDH 121906).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
^ The HVAC control head module on about 4,770 of the above vehicles may have an inoperative mode door. This can result in an inability to activate the defrost mode and reduce visibility through the windshield. Lack of the defrost mode could cause a crash under certain driving conditions.
^ To correct this condition, the HVAC control head module must be reprogrammed (flashed) or replaced.
