Manufacturer Recall Number:N140515
SUMMARY:
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2013-2014 model year Cadillac CTS, Escalade, and Escalade ESV; Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe vehicles; and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles and certain 2014 model year Buick Enclave; Chevrolet Express, Impala Limited, Silverado HD and Traverse; and GMC Acadia, Savana and Sierra HD vehicles. Additionally, a small number of 2003-2012 model year vehicles such as 2007-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2003-2012 Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra and Yukon, and 2008-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche and Colorado, GMC Canyon, HUMMER H2, H3 and H3T and Saturn VUE and Outlook models may have been serviced with a chassis electronic module that could have internal contamination, causing an electrical short in the module. Some of these vehicles were built or serviced with contamination within the chassis electronic module. This contamination can cause an electrical short in the module. If the module experiences an electrical short, the vehicle could display a check engine light, stall, or fail to start. If the vehicle is equipped with a trailer brake, the vehicle could lose trailer brake function and display a "Service Trailer Brake System" indicator.
SAFETY RISK:
If the vehicle experiences this condition and stalls while in motion, there could be an increased risk of a vehicle crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the chassis electronic module on all affected vehicles free of charge.
RECALL STATUS:
Recall INCOMPLETE

Manufacturer Recall Number:N151702620
SUMMARY:
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2010 – 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles with special equipment options for police or government service. Under heavy police use conditions, the passenger-side under-hood cooling fan assembly in these vehicles may be susceptible to repeated fluid intrusion, which could lead to corrosion of wiring inside the fan motor over time. Such corrosion can, under certain conditions, cause an electrical short circuit.
SAFETY RISK:
A short circuit caused by corrosion can create elevated temperatures within the fan motor, which can increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire while the vehicle is running.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the affected fan motor and shroud, extend wiring and re-orient the fan motor to reduce the risk of corrosion.
RECALL STATUS:
Recall INCOMPLETE. Remedy not yet available
