## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2005\-2007 SAAB 9\-7x; 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL; and 2006\-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier and Isuzu Ascender vehicles.  Fluid may enter the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board.  A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative.  The short may also cause overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire.


## What can happen

A short in the circuit board could lead to a fire, increasing the risk of personal injury.  A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use.  As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the part number on the door module, and install a new door module if necessary, free of charge.  Parts for the remedy are not currently available.  An interim letter was mailed to owners in August 2014.  A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1\-800\-521\-7300 \(Buick\), 1\-800\-222\-1020 \(Chevrolet\), 1\-800\-462\-8782 \(GMC\), 1\-800\-955\-9007 \(SAAB\), and 1\-800\-255\-6727 \(Isuzu\).  GM's number for this recall is 14309.  NOTE:  This recall provides a new remedy for all vehicles covered by recall 13V\-248.  Vehicles whose modules were modified but not replaced as part of the previous recall remedy must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
