POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 1365070
SUMMARY:
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:
It is possible for the heated washer module to ignite and a fire may occur.
REMEDY:
