Issue

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the warning label for the engine block heater cable is written in English only. As a result, a French user may not receive important safety information about how to use the engine block heater. A label that is not provided in both official languages could create confusion.

Safety Risk:
User confusion could increase the risk of injury when trying to use the block heater.

Corrective Actions:
The company will mail each owner a new label for the block heater cable. If you would like help installing the label, you can contact a dealer for assistance.
