THE CONNECTOR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED IN THE HEAT/VENT/AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT UNDER EXTENDED OPERATIONAL PERIODS AT HIGH MEDIUM-HIGH BLOWER SPEEDS. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THERE THE RISK THAT THE HEAT GENERATED COULD MELT THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE CONNECTOR MODULE, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE. OURS HAS BEEN MISSED UP FOR 2 MONTHS. PLEASE HURRY AND GET THE PART. WE CAN NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS. WE HAVE HAD IT IN A SHOP THREE TIMES AND CAN NOT GET IT TO WORK. THANK YOU. RECALL IS 15V421 *TR

AS MANY HAVE EXPLAINED BEFORE, MY BLOWER MOTOR ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT OUT I STARTED TO READ ONLINE WHAT IT MIGHT BE AND FOUND THAT EVERYONE COMPLAINED OF RESISTOR HARNESS WIRE BURNING OUT OR THE PLASTIC MELTING. AND JUST AS EVERYONE SAID I PULLED OUT THE HARNESS AND IT WAS BURN COMPLETELY OUT. GM THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED COMPLAIN, OR SOMETHING POSSIBLY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE BEFORE YOUR COMPANY TAKES ACTION, WITH ALL THE RECALLS GOING ON WITH YOUR COMPANY YOU WOULD THINK YOU GUYS WOULD LEARN. *TR
