What This Recall Means

Component

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM

What Happened
The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in your 2009 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid is what blows air through your defroster and vents. In some cases, this system might not work right and the blower could stop working.
Risk if Unfixed
If your windshield fogs up or frosts over, the air flow might not be strong enough to clear it. This could make it hard for you to see while driving, increasing the risk of a crash without any warning.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Chevrolet dealer will update the computer that controls your HVAC system, and this will fix the issue. The repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
