I had this problem a few months ago before the recall was publicized. Found out about recall from the guy at the parts counter. I decided to just buy the parts and do the work myself to save time and bother. Parts cost about $50. Included a new blower motor resistor( the connector was melted!) and a new pig-tail wiring assy. The new wires are of a much larger gauge than the oem. The pn for the pig-tail assy.(inclueds pre-wired connector and wire splices)is: F5RZ-14A411-CA
If you do the work yourself, it's only a 30min job. You may or may not need a new resistor, I had to replace mine because the connector had obviously overheated.
