2007/2008 Tahoe & Suburban Recall
WASHINGTON — General Motors said Friday it was recalling 944,000 vehicles because of a problem with a windshield-wiper fluid system that could lead to a fire.
More than 850,000 sport-utility vehicles, trucks and passenger cars in the United States and nearly 100,000 vehicles in Canada, Mexico and the Middle East are involved in the recall, the company said.
GM said it includes the 2008 Buick Enclave, 2006-08 Buick Lucerne, 2006-08 Cadillac DTS, 2007-08 Cadillac Escalade, 2007-08 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2007-08 Cadillac Escalade EXT, 2007-08 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban, 2007-08 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL, 2006-08 Hummer H2 and 2007-08 Saturn Outlook.
The recall involves vehicles with a heated washer-fluid system. A short-circuit could cause electrical features to malfunction, which could lead to an odor, smoke or potentially a fire.
GM spokeswoman Carolyn Markey said there have been nine reports of fires and three have been linked to the system. There have been no accidents or injuries, she said.
Dealers will fix the problem for free, GM said.

What was it in the shop for, that you were getting all kinds of work done to fix it up to sell it? Who did what on your vehicle?
