The footwell module failed due to corrosion. This is a known issue with these vehicles and is a fire hazard. Recall 23v-337 is active but is currently being limited to vehicles in certain northern states citing the use of road salt. This design issue is not limited to vehicles exposed to road salt. For example my vehicle has been exposed to years of salty, humid air as a result of being used on the coast of sc and ga. I request the recall be expanded to cover vehicles used in other states especially those exposed to coastal environments.
