GM Rear Sliding Window Recall

You really should respond to Transport Canada as yours would be the first verifiable instance in Canada where the recall repair clearly failed.  If we can get them rolling on this, perhaps they can force GM to fix it properly.  Your call.

I took it to the dealer and Chevy will cover everything.    They are replacing the window and the recalled part, inside, which caused the fire.

Is the recall going all the way back to 2014? I thought some guys said their trucks were not included.
What a fiasco this recall/non recall turned into.
Glad your gets fixed it's a b.s. deal in the first place.

I was originally told my VIN wasn't covered in the recall and have been working with my dealer and GM to see who would be paying for the window. Heard back from the dealer yesterday and they said GM has agreed to cover it and I should hopefully have my truck back Monday.

The mirrors will still defrost and the window still slides just won’t defrost with the fuse pulled. 

Any idea which fuse?

On my 2016, It was under the hood towards the center of fuses and relays. It was an unusual fuse (not sure what its called) that had a clear plastic cover on top with IIRC, a red body and was 30 amps??? The top of the fuse box was a bit difficult to get off but once figuring out how it came off, it was a bit easier to do.

Thank you, 

 

I have the sliding rear window with defrost. I rarely use or need either. I might kill all the power to the window for peace of mind.

Just pull the fuse for the defroster. There is nothing wrong with the window itself just the contact tabs for the defroster when the window is shut. That's the parts they replace with something thicker I understand.

Calling this morning to report issue. Thanks for the heads up. Was driving with my kids to school and they were the ones to notice smoke coming from behind their heads.

Rear defrost is virtually useless... I have mirrors and could not care less about the back window. Every truck I have had for the last 10 or 15 years has rear defrost and I never turn it on.   I do like my slider and if the fix is a solid pane I am just killing the defrost and never getting the recall lol.  

You must not live somewhere cold? Mine is used heavily

Does this eliminate the defrost on the mirrors as well?
