H3 Recall to fix fan control

[Highatop]

Ok, I'm curious to know. Up here in the mtns, I have no real need for AC and really just don't use it but, w/ winter comin, snow and ice on the windshield and wipers. I will need to put the blower on hi. Should I be concerned, of course I am now but, w/ the cold weather does it help?

It really doesn't pertain to the ac working, it's the blower issue and heating up and melting the connector. Your usage, not too sure as you seem to barely run it. Seems it's more of a failure where people run the ac a lot. And need to get with you

For what it's worth, mine melted down in the midst of a cold January, so I don't think outside temperature matters.

 

[Hercules-H3T]

Yeah mine was smoking. I think it was just a loose connection. Soldered the hell out of it and it works great.

Any update? I have received the 1st Recall Notice and contacted my local dealer with the same response as others have posted above...

My '08 H3's Fan decided to stop working during the recent snow event here in the Mid Atlantic. Sure would like for my defroster to work...!!!

I'm not able to decipher the Parts List above. Any chance someone could type out the Part #'s needed? I recall reading on here somewhere about the location of these faulty parts being behind the Glove Box... Can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance!

Dave

I have not heard a word from GM about this.

 

[RamRod]

I followed up with my local dealer a few times and nothing yet

 

[Zach]

The recall was released today. It is replacing the harness and resistor. Looks like there is stock available

Thanks for the update Zach.

Do I need to go find that stupid piece of paper, or can I just go to a GM dealer and be all like "Fix mah car dammit"?

Just take it into a dealer, they can run the vin

Not sure if this is the same situation.

Yes, that's the same situation and apparently the long-awaited parts to fix it are now available.

Can we just get the part number and swap the parts ourselves. I don't trust my local gm dealers to not break anything when they touch my h3.

Part number is 84014104 for the harness and 10397098 for the resistor. If you purchase them yourself, it will not close the recall on your vin and they will not reimburse you.

Thanks. I realize that, just my inherent distrust lol

Just checked www.my.gm.com, and the recall status for mine still shows as "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE".

 

[H3slate]

Thanks for the update Zach! I getting ready to give up hope on a fix.

So it looks like the resistor is the same (same part number as the old one), but the harness is new (different part number; old # was 25867517, which shows up as "no longer available" at several parts websites, although not others). The new harness is also double the cost of the old one. Good thing this is a warranty fix!

Just out of curiosity, Zach, where did you see the info about the fix being released, as well as the part numbers? I can still find nothing online or elsewhere.

My heat went out this morning, it was an enjoyable 45 min trip with no heat and 15 degrees out. Just called 2 dealers and none of them have parts and won't have any for 2-3 days. I might just get the dorman kit.
