GM Recalls 1.5 Million Vehicles For Fire Issue

2010_06_gm.jpg The AP reports, "General Motors is recalling about 1.5 million vehicles worldwide to address a problem with a heated windshield wiper fluid system that could lead to a fire. The recall affects several pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and passenger car models from the 2006 to 2009 model years." GM will disable the module and "pay owners and those leasing vehicles $100 since the feature is being disabled." GM had a recall in 2008 for the same problem; the new recall was issued after new reports of fires emerged.
