GM Recalls Trucks, Cars & SUVs
Friday August 29, 2008
GM is recalling 944,000 vehicles equipped with the automaker's heated washer fluid system. A short on the circuit board that controls the heater may overheat the circuit ground wire and cause electrical components to malfunction, creating an odor, smoke or a possible fire. GM will correct the problem by having its dealers install a wiring harness equipped with an inline fuse. If there's a short circuit, the fuse will blow, shutting off power to the faulty area. GM will notify owners when parts are available.
