Ouch, 1.5 Million GM Vehicles Recalled

Are you ready for this. Windshield wiper system might cause a fire. This is what GM says and they have issued a 1.5 million vehicle recall.

The Buick Enclave, Cadillac CTS and several Chevrolet and GMC pickup trucks and SUVs. The recall involves 2006 through 2009 model-year vehicles.

This is not the first recall for the exact problem, in 2008 GM had a similar recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states they have received reports of “thermal incidents” among the fixed vehicles.

This GM recall comes amidst an increased concern for vehicle safety largely due to Toyota Motor corps quality issues.

To date GM states they are aware of 5 fires with no injuries or crashes.

They will fix the problem by disabling the windshield washer fluid heating system.

Of these 1.5 million vehicles, GM reports close to 1.4 million of them are in the USA.
