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.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED, UNEXPECTEDLY (HAVING ONLY 76,000 MILES) ON MY TAHOE LTZ 2007. IN MY REVIEW AND RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE I HAVE SEEN A COMMON TREND WITH GM FOR THESE MODELS. AMONG THIS TREND, AND INCIDENTALLY FROM MY RESEARCH, THEY ARE ALL CRACKING IN THE SAME SPOTS AS MINE. ABOVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. IN LIEU OF THESE THESE DASHBOARD CRACKS, AND COMBINED WITH THE EXISTING RECALL THAT HAS NO SOLUTION FOR FIX- SURROUNDING THE TAKATA INFLATORS AMONG THE AIRBAGS, THIS BECOMES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT. THE TIME TO MAKE CORRECTIONS AND FIXES, NOT AT THE OWNER'S OR PASSENGERS' EXPENSE, IS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVISE OR INSIGHT SURROUNDING THIS MATTER. I DO HAVE PHOTOS ON MY PHONE FOR FUTURE DOCUMENTATION SHOULD IT BE NEEDED. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER. PLEASE NOTE, THIS TAHOE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. IT'S DOCUMENTED HISTORY AND APPEARANCE ATTEST TO THAT FACT.

TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM MY DEALER/VIA ONSTAR NOTIFYING ME THAT I COULD NOW SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT OF THE INFLATORS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN (WHICH WAS THE MAIN REASON I SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ONLINE) THEY SAID IT WASN'T READY FOR THE FIX AND THAT THE RECALL NUMBER WAS "NOT CORRECT, NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM". I VERIFIED THRU NHTSA RECALL INFO THAT THE RECALL NUMBER WAS IN FACT CORRECT. I FEEL DUPED INTO BRINGING MY CAR IN AND OF COURSE THEY THEN TOLD ME ALL SORTS OF ITEMS THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT (OVER AND ABOVE THE FACTORY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, E.G., DUE TO TIME VS. MILEAGE). SO I FEEL THAT I AND ANYONE ELSE RECEIVING THESE EMAILS ARE GETTING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I REPLIED TO THEIR EMAIL THAT I HAD SCHEDULED THE REPAIR AND NO ONE CONT

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ALL GENERAL MOTORS DEALERS IN THE RIVER PARISHES AREA. ALL TOLD ME THAT CHEVROLET GENERAL MOTORS HAVE INSTRUCTED ALL DEALERS NOT TO REPAIR ANY AIR BAGS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PROVEN THAT THESE AIR BAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AS TOLD. I HAVE VERY SERIOUS OSTEOPOROSIS TO THE POINT IF THESE AIR BAGS GO OFF BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, I WILL BE CRIPPLED FOR LIFE. MY BONES WILL NOT BREAK - THEY WILL CRUSH. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL SITUATION AND OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO GET THIS FIXED. ALL OTHER VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS HAVE CHANGED THEIR AIR BAGS - ONLY CHEVROLET IS REFUSING!

MY DASHBOARD FIRST CRACKED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CONNECTS TO THE DASHBOARD AND NOW IS CRACKED IN 3 OTHER PLACES: 2 ABOVE THE CONTROL PANEL CONNECTED TO THE VENT AND ONE ABOVE THE RADIO. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND HAS GOT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE LOCATION OF THE AIRBAG AND THE CRACK. I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK TO JUST WAIT AND SEE OR TAKE SOMEONE'S WORD THAT "IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE". A NEW DASHBOARD IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AMONG MAY TAHOES ALONG WITH OTHER MODELS. THESE CRACKED DASHBOARDS ARE A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT DEPLOYED APPROPRIATELY DURING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT SEEN WHEN THESE 4 CRACKS OCCURRED, BUT THE CRACKS ALLOW FOR THE DASHBOARD TO SHIFT AND CRACK MORE WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS, ETC.
