Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a single, manual, rear climate control module (ccm). If the temperature is set to maximum heat or the mode knob is set to maximum floor vent and an electrical short occurs, components within the ccm may overheat.

Why it matters: If the ccm overheats, there is an increased risk of a fire in the vehicle's headliner.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will remove the electrical insulation from a wiring connector within the ccm to remove the fire risk, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2018.
