- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)

- Manufacturer's number: 15700
- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2006\-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy vehicles, and 2006 GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT vehicles.  Fluid may enter into the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board, causing window switches to become inoperative.  Previously, the affected vehicles may have had their master power window switch module treated with a protective coating, instead of having it replaced.


## What can happen

The protective coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even while the vehicle is unattended.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new driver's door switch module, free of charge.  The recall began on November 2, 2015.  Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1\-800\-521\-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020, and GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.  GM's number for this recall is 15700.


## 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.
