What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy vehicles, as well as 2006 GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT models. The driver's door master power window switch module can allow fluid to enter, causing corrosion and a short circuit in the circuit board. Even with a protective coating applied to previously affected vehicles, this protective coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even while the vehicle is unattended.

GM will notify owners of the recall, which began November 2, 2015. Dealers will install a new driver's door switch module at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact their manufacturer's customer service: Buick at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC at 1-800-462-8782. The recall number is 15700.
