Recall Alert: 2011-12 Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia


General Motors is recalling 50,001 model-year 2011 and 2012 versions of its midsize crossovers because of problems their windshield wiper arms, in accordance with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall affects Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia models registered within the following Snow Belt states: Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ny, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Alaska and the District of Columbia. In these vehicles, snow or ice buildup at the windshield wipers restricts them and will loosen the arm, rendering it inoperable. This decreases visibility and increases the chance of a crash.

GM will notify owners starting April 16, and dealers will tighten the wiper arm nuts gratis. Owners can call NHTSA's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more information.
