General Motors has recalled 1.5 million vehicles due to a defect that could cause a fire.
The defect lies with the heated windshield wiper fluid system that is present in model year 2006 to 2009 pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, crossovers and passenger car models. A short circuit can cause the system to malfunction and ultimately start a fire.
A previous recall was issued in 2008 but with several reports of fires surfacing the company decided to recall all vehicles with the heated windshield wiper fluid module. The module will be removed from the vehicle to prevent any further complications.
