  "excerpt": "Fiat 131. Published by Transport Canada as 1978084 on 5 September 1978. System: Not Entered. What the notice says Breakage of the internal mechanism of the heater fan switch could result in overheating of the switch and the possibility of a fire in the wiring harness. 2 door 384297 to 391083 4 door 380300 to 389541 Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at Transport Canada , or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on. This site holds seven national and European registers. Fiat 131 is named on 2 British notices and 4 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules. DVSA recall R/2003/131: Fiat Chrysler Ulysse (Water ingress into the airbag ECU) DVSA recall R/2009/131: Fiat Chrysler Grande Punto (Steering may fail) EU Safety Gate alert A12/1310/13: Fiat 500 Abarth, notified by Germany EU Safety Gate alert A12/1315/17: Fiat Ducato, notified by Germany EU Safety Gate alert A12/01319/21: Fiat 500, notified by Germany Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register. BREAKAGE OF THE INTERNAL MECHANISM OF THE HEATER FAN SWITCH COU",
