VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM RELATING TO ALL VANS WITH REAR HEATERS MANUFACTURED FROM 1991 TO THE PRESENT. THE TUBING LEADING TO THE REAR HEATER HAS RUSTED OUT ON ALL 18 OF OUR FLEET VANS. WITHOUT CLOSE INSPECTION, TUBE COULD RUST COMPLETELY THROUGH, CAUSING LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT. THE TUBES RUN UNDER THE BODY OF THE VAN AND THROUGH THE REAR WHEEL WELL, WHERE THEY ARE EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. OUR NEWEST VAN HAS ONLY 12,000 MILES AND IS ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST.
