Recall Alert: 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy, Envoy XL
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 10,000 model-year 2006-07 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer and Trailblazer EXT, and GMC Envoy and Envoy XL SUVs
The Problem: Fluid may enter into the driver’s door master power window switch module, resulting in corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board, causing window switches to become inoperative. The affected vehicles previously may have had the module treated with a protective coating instead of having it replaced; this coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even when the vehicle is unattended. GM said the affected vehicles were mistakenly excluded from a previous recall because dealers had reported that the vehicles had been repaired; the automaker said it has since determined that the repairs included only the protective coating and not replacement of the module.
The Fix: Dealers will install a new driver-door switch module for free.
