H3 Recall to fix fan control

[speedy]

http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/story/29500754/gm-recalls-hummers-to-fix-fan-controls-that-can-overheat

General Motors is recalling more than 196,000 Hummer SUVs worldwide because the ventilation fan motor controls can overheat and start a fire.
The recall covers the 2006 to 2010 Hummer H3 and the 2009 and 2010 H3T.
The company says the module that controls the heating and air conditioning blower motor speed can overheat when operated for a long time, melting nearby plastic and increasing the risk of a fire. The company reported three minor burns caused by the problem, but no crashes.
Dealers will replace the faulty module and wiring harness at no cost to owners.
GM says the recall covers about 165,000 Hummers in the U.S.

Product Safety Recall

N150042

Blower Motor Resistor

N/A

Incomplete - Remedy not yet available

Taking it in now is pointless, GM has not released part numbers for the fix.

I am assuming this has to deal with the resistor that causes the HVAC to not work properly.

I saw this on facebook and took it as a joke initially.

Mine gets super hot.

GM blower motor resistors and harnesses have been melting since the beginning of time. I've had 2 in the Hummer and at least 3 in my truck. What's different about this?

Conspiracy to figure out how many hummers are out there so that government motors can destroy them systematically.:giggle: :roll:

I wonder if they will give me any trouble with the mods on my truck.

 

[H3HummerLineX]

I was wondering the same

Zach, since you have some insight to this, can you keep us up to date? Would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Do we get a refund for fixing "apparently faulty" equipment with newer "faulty" equipment?
I replaced the resistor motor once on each of my rigs and if they will recall em to change the same part coz they are faulty, maybe I have a case for complaint? (Was charged 200 bucks each time)

GM paid me back for a faulty gas peddle that i replaced my self.

readjust the tin hat buddy :huh:

excellent, though, that means they can replace my controls which, when the recirculate button is pressed the a/c comes on too.

...so true! I've always thought that was weird.

Haha I'm just kiddin man.

 

[Clwnshu99]

I just replaced my resistor and harness three weeks ago because it melted. -__- I got gm employee pricing so it all came to 54$ but still..

 

[SuperBuickGuy]

Haha I'm just kiddin man.

I thought so, but now (because you explained the joke, and we all know the government has zero sense of humor) I'm onto you.... :hypno

I saw the preliminary notice about a week and a half ago. Didn't say anything because it is really vague. Assuming it is resistor and connector, long overdue. Once it releases I will let you guys know. Pretty much stay on top of all recalls so I can get the parts in right away. Those of you that have already repaired, if it is that, will need to take paperwork to a GM dealership for reimbursement

Very doubtful about that. Unless it is a direct cause to the recall, they only replace the parts on the recall. We had people coming in for the infamous ignition switch recall thinking it would fix everything wrong with the car and all the issues they were having. Towed the car in, did the recall and they towed them back out.

THANK YOU for the info . Mine just went out for the 3rd time and I was going to fix it next week , but now I'm going to call the dealer to find out more info . Thank you !

 

[chaos254]

[e0308jr]

Thanks for the information.

The main reason for the recirc setting is to dehumidify the interior with AC to prevent fogging the windshield; e.g., if you load three dripping wet kids on a wet chilly day.

I put in a bypass switch to allow me to run recirc and defrost without the AC running.

I thought the AC compressor had to be able to turn on in order for the defrost to be effective. Granted it doesn't turn on as often as it would if the setting was at cold setting but it does need to be able to turn on to keep the evaporator cold to condense the moisture in the air. Not that I am an expert, just from what I was taught.
