NHTSA recall 09V489000
Visibility · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The software in the center instrument panel can cause the heating, air conditioning, defrost, and radio controls, as well as the panel illumination to become inoperative.
Why it matters: Driving without a functioning defrost system can decrease your visibility under certain driving conditions and could result in a crash without warning.
The fix: Dealers will replace the computer module in the center instrument panel free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during January 2010.
