Heated windshield washer system: Good. Heated windshield washer system that gets so hot it could potentially cause a fire: Recall. General Motors has announced that it is recalling some 1.5 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2009 for just such a problem. A similar measure was taken in 2008, but apparently the fix performed for that recall hasn't eradicated the issue entirely.
The models affected consist of the
Buick Enclave and
Lucerne;
Cadillac CTS,
DTS,
Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT;
Chevrolet Avalanche,
Silverado 3500,
Suburban,
Tahoe and
Traverse;
GMC Acadia,
Sierra,
Yukon, Yukon XL,
Hummer H2 and
Saturn Outlook. In lieu of a fix, it seems that The General is offering to pay owners $100 to remove the heated washer fluid system in its entirety.
