reported: Sep 17, 1999
owners notified: Oct 22, 1999

Visibility: defroster/defogger/HVAC system: fan/motor

What is wrong: Vehicle description: school buses. Some heater/defroster units were built with the blower motor wired improperly. When wired improperly the blower motor runs backward and airflow for heating and defrosting is very limited. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 103, "windshield defrosting and defogging systems."
Risk: Defrosting needs may not be achieved and could restrict driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Owners will be instructed on how to inspect and repair the defect by switching the connection of two wires.
