What’s wrong with it?
If the LPM overheats and fails, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Navistar, Inc.

A vehicle double battery jump start or electrical load dump event could result in an overvoltage condition of a component within the HVAC system linear power module (LPM) which is used to control the blower speed.
