I still have to make an appointment for my 2006 as I have the letter but I have had the car for 5 years and not one problem with the switch. Still needs to be done, but if ya have not caught fire in 5 years using various setting I would not worry too much in the short term.

I brought in my 2008 H3 for the recall on Feb 28, 2016. Ever since then I had a slight smell of coolant inside…thought it was a result of the work done and it would eventually go away. On April 1, 2016 I had my windows fogging up with a mist coming out of the vents on the passenger side. It got so bad it looked like my car was on fire..smoking like a stage smoke machine.
Took it to the dealer on April 4 and they said I had to change the heater core due to a leak..(approx 1500$CAN)…still waiting for the vehicle to be completed for Thursday April 7. Dealer told me that it is approx. 1000 of labor+parts.

I asked if it was related to a malfunction of the replaced part and immediately I got a “NO”. My truck was working fine for 8 years and now 30 days after the recall work was done my heater core starts to leak….questionable.

has nothing to do with heater core, its a resistor and a harness.

Default Always ask to see the parts they removed!

Always tell them you want to see the parts that they take off your vehicle. Never trust a repair shop, especially a dealership !
