Vehicles Affected: Approximately 29,000 model-year 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave SUVs manufactured between Aug. 18 and Sept. 24, 2015

The Problem: Due to a manufacturing defect, the windshield wiper motor may overheat when used, increasing the risk of a fire.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor cover assembly for free. The automaker advises owners not to use their front windshield wipers until the repair has been made. If weather conditions prevent operation of the vehicle without wipers, GM will make arrangements to pick up the vehicle for servicing.

What Owners Should Do: GM began notifying owners Sept. 30. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020, Buick at 800-521-7300 and GMC at 800-462-8782 for more info. Owners can also call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov.
