Chevrolet Malibu: Heater and Defroster
Affects Chevrolet Malibu · 2014 — about 1K vehicles.
The hazard
Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 103 - Windshield Defrosting and Defogging. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls in these vehicles may intermittently become inoperable when the vehicle is started. If this occurs, the HVAC system will remain on the previous settings in place at the time the vehicle was shut off. This could interfere with windshield defrosting and/or defogging, causing reduced visibility and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the electronic climate control module.
