Certain Mustang GT vehicles may not comply with C.M.V.S.S. 103 - Windshield Defrosting and Defogging. Coolant flow blockage at the intake manifold heater core nipple results in no coolant flow to the heater and, therefore, no warm air flow from the heater or windshield defroster. Correction: Dealers will repair the heater core nipple blockage and restore coolant flow.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2000283.
