GM Models Affected
Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia
GM Recall Overview:
General Motors is advising its customers to not use their windshield wipers in certain SUVs. These SUVs include the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia from the 2016. An electrical short can cause the windshield wiper motor to overheat and catch fire.
The problem was discovered when a wiper motor overheated at a factory near Lansing, Michigan, where the SUVs are made. The plant’s quality manager reported the problem on Sept. 21 through GM’s “Speak up for Safety” program, and GM began investigating five days later.
No injuries have been reported.
Only 6,400 were sold and the rest are being held at dealerships until they are repaired. Most are in North America.
Understanding Vehicle Recalls:
What To Do If You Own One Of The SUVs:
GM is advising drivers who are affected by this recall to bring their vehicles to their nearest GM Dealership. If weather is not permitting them to do so, they are advised to call the dealership and they will pick up your car. Gm will also arrange for a rental car while the vehicle is being worked on.
