A new and interesting recall by NHTSA instructs owners of New GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, and Buick Enclave owners not to use their windshield wipers. A motor may overheat and cause a fire. The recall includes provisions for GM to come and retrieve you vehicle. Here is NHTSA's summary:

 

"GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor cover assembly, free of charge. Owners are advised not to use their front windshield wipers until the wiper cover has been replaced. If weather conditions prevent operation of the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will make arrangements to pick up the vehicle for servicing. The recall began on September 30, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15780."
