| Description of the problem | A went in the defroster system that activates the fresh air or in cab circulation system failed at the pivot point. The door then fell over the fan at the bottom of the system which doesn't allow any air to flow out of any vent. I live near minneapolis , mn and this happened in august so there were no issues but if this had happened during the winter the defrost function would not have worked which is something that drivers in minnesota rely on every day in the winter to be able to see out the windshield. |
