Recall is continuing, after the lastest recall by Chrysler, we now have the GM recall 2010 again.

General Motors is recalling 1.5 million cars and trucks because of a washer-fluid heating system that has caused engine fires, GM said Tuesday.

The voluntary recall, which affects 2006-2009 Buicks, Cadillacs, Chevrolets, GMCs, Hummer and Saturns, involves a problematic electronic heat system that was the subject of another massive recall in 2008.

To remedy the problem, technicians will disable washer-water heater and will pay each owner $100 to make up for the loss of the convenience feature. The system, made by a now-defunct supplier, was designed to spray heated water to clear icy windshields.

“This was a unique technology available from only one supplier, and that supplier has stopped manufacturing, which left no opportunity to collaborate on an improved design,” said Jeff Boyer, executive director of safety for GM. “We want to be clear that the voluntary payment to customers is for the loss of the feature, not the recall.”

GM said it knows of five engine fires caused by the system, but no accidents or injuries.

In the 2008 recall, the heating system was experiencing short circuits that caused under-hood fires, which was remedied by installing an inline fuse. This recall involves a different problem altogether, which prompted GM to opt for removing the systems.

Included in the recall are 2006-2009 Buick Lucerne, Cadillac DTS and Hummer H2; 2008-2009 Buick Enclave and Cadillac CTS; 2009 Chevrolet Traverse; 2007-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV and EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban and Tahoe; and 2007-2009 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL, and Saturn Outlook.

The recalled vehicles include 1,365,070 in the United States, 98,794 affected vehicles in Canada, 26,228 in Mexico and 38,093 exports.

In March, GM recalled 1.3 million vehicles over major steering problems.
