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.
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. THIS RECALL HAS NOW BEEN OPEN FOR OVER 3 YEARS AND NO FIX AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE HANDLED ASAP.
Air bags, Aug 18, 2019
TAKATA INFLATORS. I WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE RECALL. EVERYTIME I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THERE WAS BE REMEDY IT THIS TIME. IT SEEMS THAT GM IS HOLDING OUT IN PERFORMING THE RECALL ON A LARGE AMOUNT OF THEIR CONSUMERS. THIS HASENT BEEN FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO PREPARE AND COMPLETE THE RECALL THEY ARE JUST DRAGGING IT OUT. MY WIFE AND I ARE NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE BODILY HARM OR DEATH. WE CAN'T EVEN SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE OPEN RECALL AND WITHOUT GM FIXING THE RECALL PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT COULD POSSIBLY KILL THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT GM IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND PERFORM THE RECALL AS SOON 🔜 AS POSSIBLE. AND IF FOR SOME REASON THEY CAN'T PERFORM THE RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY RETRIBUTION TO THOSE THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. VEHICLES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND CONSUMERS WORK REALLY HARD TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES. IT IS TIME TO GIVE THE CONSUMERS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL SOMETHING FOR THEIR MONEY.

TAKATA RECALL I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2008 TAHOE LT 4WD AND HAVE CONTACTED ASHEVILLE CHEVROLET IN ASHEVILLE, NC ON A COUPLE OF OCCASSIONS REGARDING THIS AIRBAG RECALL, MOST RECENTLY ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS STARTING TO CRACK PARTICULIARLY TWO CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE DASH AND ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DASH CRACKING IN TAHOE MODELS AND WAS NOT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT THERE WAS ALSO NOT A RECALL ON THE DASH CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG. I AM A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT USED TO SUPERVISE A TRAFFIC SAFETY UNIT AND AM A CERTIFIED TRAFFIC CRASH RECONSTRUCTIONIST, THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARDS CRACKING NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA TO DETERMINE IF IT IS IN FACT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL AND ESCALATE GM TO REPLACE THE DASHES AND /OR TAKATA AIRBAGS IF IT IS.
