   Structure / Body / Hatchback/Liftgate

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured January 3, 2007, to February 29, 2012, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured July 6, 2008, to March 9, 2012, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured September 15, 2006, to February 29, 2012, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles manufactured August 17, 2006, to March 18, 2010. The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The recall began on November 15, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for this recall is 15240.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number 15240. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 Nov 2016.

   Electrical System

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   It is possible for the heated washer module to ignite and a fire may occur.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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. Owners may contact buick at 1-866-608-8080, cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, saturn at 1-800-972-8876, GMC at 1-866-996-9463 and hummer at 1-800-732-5493 or at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.

3. 08V441000Received 28 Aug 2008. 857,735 units.

   Electrical System

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Gm is recalling 857,735 my 2006-2008 buick lucerne; cadillac dts; hummer h2; my 2007-2008 cadillac escalade, escalade esv, escalade ext; chevrolet avalanche, silverado, suburban, tahoe; GMC acadia, sierra, yukon, yukon xl, saturn outlook; and my 2008 buick enclave vehicles equipped with a heated wiper washer fluid system. A short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This may cause other electrical features to malfunction, create an odor, or cause smoke increasing the risk of a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will install a wire harness with an in-line fuse free of charge. The recall began on september 12, 2008.

4. 08V410000Received 14 Aug 2008. 88,809 units.

   Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer / Linkages

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Gm is recalling 88,809 my 2008 buick enclave, and my 2007-2008 GMC acadia and saturn outlook vehicles currently or previously registered in the following states: alaska, colorado, connecticut, delaware, idaho, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, montana, nebraska, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, north dakota, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, south dakota, utah, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, wyoming, and the district of columbia. If a buildup of snow or ice on the windshield or on the wipers restricts the movement of the wiper arm, the windshield wiper linkage may become detached from the motor shaft and the wipers may become inoperative.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If this were to occur, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will install a new wiper crank arm, driver's side link, and a crank arm nut. The recall began o october 13, 2008. Owners may contact buick at 1-866-608-8080, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, saturn at 1-800-972-8876, or through their website at <a href=http://www.gmownercenter.com>http://www.gmownercenter.com</a> .

5. 07V062000Received 21 Feb 2007. 13,032 units.

   Air Bags / Frontal / Sensor/Control Module-Inactive

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (sdm), which controls the function of front air bags, may not operate properly. As a result, the front air bags may fail to deploy in a frontal crash. Also, the air bag warning lamp on the instrument panel may fail to provide warning that the system is inoperative.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   In the event of a crash, this condition could increase the risk of injury to occupants in the front seat.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will reprogram the sdm computer module. This recall began on february 22, 2007. Owners may contact GMC at 1-866-966-9463 or saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
