What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to seal the wiring for the rear HVAC blower motor at the left B-pillar.

21 September 2018

Transport Canada lists: Express 2016–2018 · Savana 2016–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a single manual rear climate control module (CCM), the CCM could overheat when the temperature is set to maximum heat or the knob is set to maximum floor vent. If this occurs, the insulation material used on the CCM terminal connectors could catch fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will remove the insulation from the CCM terminal connectors.

4 May 2018

Transport Canada lists: Express 2014–2016 · Savana 2014–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with power windows, liquid can enter the power window switches causing corrosion and lead to a high electrical resistance. This could cause the switch to heat up, smoke or melt, which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the driver’s side window switch with a switch that has additional protection against liquid intrusion.

27 April 2018

Transport Canada lists: Express 2011–2017 · Savana 2016–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.
