What NHTSA recorded

Condensate water may accumulate in the air conditioning blower housing; there is a high probability that this water will cause the blower motor to fail. Blower motor failure would disable the air condtioning unit and there would be no way to defrost or defog the windshield.

Remedy

Dealer will drill a 1/4 inch drain hole in the bottom of the air conditioning blower housing to prevent water accumulation, without charge to owner.
