What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles may contain air conditioners which have blower motor resistor wires which were improperly routed too close to the blower housing wall. As a result, the blower motor could become jammed and, if the blower switch is in either the medium or low position, the polypropylene blower housing could ignite.

Remedy

Dealer will replace the resistor assembly with a temperature protective thermal limiter, if necessary, without charge.
