UNEVEN AIR FLOW AT WINDSHIELD DEFROST. OUTLET PART REDESIGN

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1988-89 C/K TRUCKS

Some 1988 and early production 1989 C/K Trucks may experience a reduced air flow condition at the upper right side defroster outlet during the defrost operation. This condition is due to an insufficient amount of air flow directional vanes within the windshield defroster nozzle assembly. To address this condition, three (3) vanes have been added to the inside of the defroster nozzle assembly (P/N 15530575) to redirect the air flow (See Figure 1).

IMPORTANT: The addition of the three (3) directional vanes to the defroster nozzle assembly will correct the uneven air flow condition. It is normal for the defrost output air temperature to be cooler on the right side than the left.

Parts are currently available from CANSPO.

Beginning with the following VIN breakpoints, the redesigned defroster nozzle assembly was incorporated into production.

Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.
