DEFECT SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured August 18, 2015 to September 24, 2015. Due to a manufacturing defect, the windshield wiper motor may overheat when used.
CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY: A wiper motor that overheats increases the risk of a fire.
CORRECTIVE SUMMARY: GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor cover assembly, free of charge.
