WASHINGTONGeneral Motors is recalling 249,260 2006-2007 model-year SUVs originally sold or currently registered in states where winter use of road salts and other materials heightens the risk of corrosion.

The recall covers the following vehicles:

  • 2006 MY Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT
  • 2006 MY GMC Envoy XL
  • 2006-2007 MY Buick Rainier
  • 2006-2007 MY Chevrolet Trailblazer
  • 2006-2007 MY GMC Envoy
  • 2006-2007 MY Isuzu Ascender
  • 2006-2007 MY Saab 9-7X.

In these vehicles, fluid may enter the driver’s door module, causing corrosion that could lead to a short in the circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or to stop functioning altogether. The short may also cause overheating, which poses a fire risk, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported. 

Dealers will notify vehicle owners of the recall and the remedy plan.

  • Connecticut
