If your car is a 96, the recall is good for up to 150,000 miles or like ten years after the recall was sent out..not having a defroster on a cold morning is dangerous, I have yet to take advantage of this recall. My car does the same thing, only blows on the lowest setting.

1996 Contour GL AT, 2.5 V6 No mods, rollin on 14's with hubcaps, 116,000 miles, and still havent been beaten by a ricer.
