The affected vehicles were manufactured from May 5, 2011, through Feb. 24, 2012 (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb), and they have a windshield-wiper washer hose that could separate from the fluid reservoir. This could lead to a lack of fluid, possibly impairing the driver’s view.

GM will notify owners starting Sept. 7, and dealers will replace the affected parts for free. Owners can call Chevrolet at 866-694-6546 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
