VISIBILITY Safety Recalls

Moderate #15V164000 NHTSA Official Language
Component

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles October 24, 2011, to March 5, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the Slide or Tilt switch for the roof panel may not be adequately recessed to prevent the switch from inadvertently being pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."
Risk if Unfixed
The Slide or Tilt roof panel switch may inadvertently be pressed and the roof panel may auto-close unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a pinch injury.
Free Fix
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the Body Control Module (BCM) software to remove auto-close feature for certain switch positions, free of charge. The recall began April 21, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15176.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control may not work properly, causing the windshield defroster to fail when you start the car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the windshield defroster doesn't work, you might not be able to see clearly when driving, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Don't worry, this is a free fix. GM will update the software in your car's electronic climate control module at no cost to you, and they'll let you know when to bring it in.

Original — What Happened
