JUNE 2010 --
GM is recalling certain model
year 2006-2009 Buick, Lucerne; Cadillac DTS; Hummer H2; Model Year 2008-2009
Buick Enclave; Cadillac CTS; Model Year 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade
ESV, Escalade EXT; Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Acadia,
Sierra, Yukon, Yukon Xl; Saturn Outlook; and Model Year 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid system (HWFS). A recall was
implemented in 2008 to add a fuse to the control circuit harness to address the
potential consequences of a printed circuit board (PCB) electrical short.
However, there have been new reports of thermal incidents on HWFS modules after
this improvement was installed. These incidents resulted from a new failure mode
attributed to the device's thermal protection feature. The significance varies
from minor distortion to considerable melting of the plastic around the HWFS
fluid chamber. It is possible for the heated washer module to ignite and a fire
may occur. Dealers will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid
module. An updated page for the owner manual will be provided and inserted in
the owner manual to document that the feature has been permanently disabled and
removed from the vehicle. The safety recall began on June 11, 2010.

NEWS:
GM
recalling 1.5M vehicles
over fire concerns
YAHOO NEWS – June 8,
2010 – General Motors
Co. said Tuesday it was
recalling about 1.5
million vehicles
worldwide to address a
problem with a heated
windshield wiper fluid
system that could lead
to a fire, its second
recall over the issue in
two years.
The recall affects
several pickup trucks,
sport utility vehicles,
crossovers and passenger
car models from the 2006
to 2009 model years. GM
conducted a similar
recall in 2008 but came
across new reports of
fires in vehicles that
had been fixed.
GM said it would disable
the heated washer fluid
system module that could
lead to fires. The
Detroit automaker will
pay owners and those
leasing vehicles $100
each since the feature
is being disabled.
GM said it was aware of
five fires but there had
been no injuries or
crashes reported. Nearly
1.4 million vehicles are
in the U.S. and more
than 100,000 vehicles
are in Canada, Mexico
and other international
markets.
"While our analysis
shows the number of
incidents is very small
compared with the number
of vehicles on the road,
we want our customers to
have complete peace of
mind," said Jeff Boyer,
GM's executive director
of safety.
The recall covers the
2006-2009 model year
Buick Lucerne, Cadillac
DTS, and Hummer H2;
2008-2009 Buick Enclave
and Cadillac CTS;
2007-2009 Cadillac
Escalade, Escalade ESV
and Escalade EXT;
2007-2009 Chevrolet
Avalanche, Silverado,
Suburban and Tahoe;
2007-2009 GMC Acadia,
Sierra, Yukon and Yukon
XL; 2007-2009 Saturn
Outlook; and 2009
Chevrolet Traverse.
The auto company said
customers will begin to
receive recall letters
later this month but can
contact their dealer to
make an appointment to
have the heated washer
system removed. Dealers
will remove the heated
washer fluid module and
reroute washer fluid
hoses.
GM said the technology
was available from only
one supplier, Microheat
Inc., of Farmington
Hills, Mich., which went
out of business,
preventing GM from
working with another
supplier on an improved
design.
GM recalled more than
900,000 vehicles because
of the heated washer
fluid system in August
2008 because a short
circuit on the circuit
board could overheat the
ground wire. The
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration
had opened an
investigation in
February 2008 into 2007
Yukon and Tahoe vehicles
over potential engine
compartment fires.
The government closed
its investigation after
the 2008 recall but GM
later came across fires
in vehicles that had
been fixed under the
previous recall,
prompting the latest
safety action.

MARCH 2010 -
General Motors
has notified NHTSA of a
defect in certain model
year 2003-2007 Cadillac
CTS vehicles currently

Some ofthese vehicles
have a condition in
which the front brake
hose fitting at the
caliper may corrode due
tosnow or water,
containing road salt or
other contaminants,
entering and being
retained in the
routingsleeve. If the
fitting corrodes
significantly, the brake
hose-tube interface may
develop a leak. The
brake hose-tube
interface may rupture
suddenly without prior
warning and increase
vehicle stopping
distance may occur
increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers are to
replace both front brake
hose assemblies free of
charge. The safety
recall is expected to
begin during May 2010.

2009 Cadillac CTS
vehicles for failing to
conform to the
requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 208,
“Occupant Crash
Protection.” Under
certain conditions, a
software condition
within the passenger
sensing system may
disable the front
passenger air bag when
it should be enabled or
enable it when it should
be disabled. In a
vehicle crash, if the
front passenger air bag
does not operate as
designed, increased
personal injury could
occur. Dealers will
