Hummer Recall

[Intercooled]

Could it cause a fire if left alone but not used?

But they're giving us $100.00 lol

Spoke with a dealership today and was told that they are not just unplugging it. They will remove the fuse, cut the wiring harness, remove some of the system and re-route the tubing. I do not want to give this feature up! I could care less about the $100. That $100 will be gone quick and will be left starring at the button for the heated windshield fluid for years!

My point exactly! I'm sure there another company out there that makes these things.

GM told me that after the dealership "disables" the system, a few weeks later, you'll be getting a check from the dealer directly.

Hi gm has a new harness to fix the problem part #20773432, it has inline fuse on the ground wire. They will fix it on all vehicles 2006/2008 that have the heated washer under warranty or not.

Does this fixed harness mean that I don't need to take it in and have wires cut and system disabled? Why wouldn't they do that then?

Hate to lose that feature on my 08 H2.

My wiring harness to the heated WW fluid system was recalled a few months ago, and I got it fixed.

So I get a call today from our Hummer dealer about our 07 H2 with the heated windshield washer fluid option. 2 days after the recall was announced on the news. Must be a really important recall. No letter, but a personal call from GM. Wow! Apparently the first recall did not fix the problem.

They tell me all the H2 with this option all again recalled. And the company that supplied it has gone bankrupt and closed. Then they tell me that they have to "remove the system" from my vehicle, since it could otherwise catch on fire and burn to the ground. Liability I guess if they just disconnected it instead. They offer me $105 (canadian as I am in Canada) to pay me for the part they are yanking out of our H2.

Then I would be left with one less option, and a useless button on the dash. (the button is right in the middle of the carbon fibre-look dash on our LE, not part of some other button on the 08-10). They said that the can not replace the unit, as no other exists in the world that they could retrofit.

So I ask you, Hummer braniacs, what to do? What actually catches on fire, a module or wiring? Can the system be simply disabled by removing ALL electrical current from the heated WW system, and just leave it in the vehicle? Does it have its own dedicated fused circuit, or not? I need a definitive answer, not just a guess, as this is very important.

The answer to this question will undoubtedly help thousands of other H2 owners to avoid butchering of their H2 by GM.

Help Please!
