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. 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.

TAKATA RECALL , PREVIOUS GM RECALL COMPLAINT #49152. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE NHTSA AND CHEVROLET WAS NOTIFIED OF MY REQUEST TO HAVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED. MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP (COUNTRY CHEVROLET) DENIED MY REQUEST TO HAVE AIRBAG TURNED OFF UNTIL REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE OBTAINED. EVERY TIME MY WIFE RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SHE IS PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK. INSTEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT TAKING THESE BIG FINES AGAINST THE COMPANIES, WHY DON'T THEY BUY THE AIR BAGS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES. DO YOU THINK THAT 18 MONTHS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TIME TABLE FOR FIXING A NATIONAL RECALL? IT IS NO WONDER THE AVERAGE CITIZEN IS SO DISGUSTED BY THE SNAIL LIKE PACE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WORKS. IT SEEMS AS IF OUR GOVERNMENT AGREES WITH THESE BEHEMOTH CORPORATIONS THAT IT IS EASIER AND LESS COSTLY TO JUST PAY THE FAMILY AFTER THEY HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE THAN TO PROACTIVELY SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.

TAKATA RECALL: UPON RECEIVING INITIAL NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN 2016, TWO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS IN AND NEAR BIRMGINGHAM, HENDRICKS AND EDWARDS BOTH STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS PENDING. UPON RECENT RECEIPT OF THE TK HOLDINGS CHAPTER 11 NOTICE, BOTH DEALERSHIPS ARE STILL STATING THEY ARE UNABLE TO HONOR THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH THE LETTER AND RECALL NOTICE STATE TO IMMEDIATELY REMEDY A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE ISSUE THROUGH A FREE REPLACEMENT AT A MANUFACTURER'S DEALERSHIPS, ALL SUCH DEALERSHIPS ARE STATING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ARE UNWILLING TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT. AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIPS IN QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ARE EDWARDS CHEVY IN BIRMINGHAM, AND HENDRICK'S CHEVROLET IN HOOVER.
