Vehicles operated in countries which have high road salt usage during the winter months may experience an increased risk of corrosion build-up. In extreme cases, the corrosion can propagate into the electronic circuits and result in overheating. In rare cases, the overheating may be sufficient to ignite the module fitted to the engine cooling fan and surrounding wiring component increasing the risk of a fire.
