Chevrolet heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (hvac) control in these vehicles may intermittently become inoperable when the vehicle is started, preventing the windshield defroster from working.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the windshield electrical heating element. Here is what owners need to know.
The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control in these vehicles may intermittently become inoperable when the vehicle is started, preventing the windshield defroster from working. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
The inability to turn on the windshield defroster may decrease the driver's visibility thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic climate control module software, free of charge.
