What Happened
The master power window switch in your vehicle is the part that lets you roll up and down your windows. In some 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy models, water could seep into this switch and cause a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If the circuit board shorts, your window switch could stop working, and there's a small chance of a fire starting even when your vehicle is parked and unattended.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty window switch with a new one, at no cost to you. They'll do this as soon as you get the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
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.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
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.
Original — 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.
