GM’s New $100 Cashback Scheme: Fire Risk Recall
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img GM ::: GM Fire Risk Recall
RECALLS – much like $#!& – happen.
And in so much that GM is now recalling 1.5 million North American cars – some of which have already been recalled in 2008 for the same fire risk- the General is offering customers $100 back for the inconvenience of losing a feature to correct the problem.
Which feature? The washer heater, which is being recalled on certain Caddys, Buicks, Chevys, Humvees, and Saturns for getting a little to hot in what GM’s cleverly calling “thermal incidents”.
So, for you Nanooks of the North, have you considered a Ford lately? For everyone else, go on, take the money and run.
