2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT

2006-2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

2006 GMC Envoy XL

2006-2007 GMC Envoy

Vehicles originally involved in Special Coverage 11323, but have not had the repair performed,

have been transferred to this safety recall. Please discard all copies of bulletin 12180A.
CONDITION

General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in

certain 2006 model year Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 model

year Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, and GMC Envoy; and 2005-2007 model year Saab

9-7X vehicles. If fluid enters the driver’s door module, it may cause corrosion that could result

in a short in the circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window

switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. In rare cases, a short may cause

overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a

fire.

CORRECTION

Dealers are to test the driver's window and door lock switches for proper operation. If the

switches function properly, dealers are to install a protective coating to the door module. If the

switches do not function properly, dealers are to install a new door module.

Owners of 2005-2007 model year Saab 9-7X vehicles delivered in the U.S. or Canada will

receive a separate notification and be addressed by Saab Authorized Service Centers. This

bulletin applies to those 2005-2007 model year Saab 9-7X vehicles delivered outside of the

U.S. and Canada that are subject to this safety recall.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle Identification Number on the Investigate Vehicle

History screen in GM Global Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel

should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required

inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because

not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content.

For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete

vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared

and will be provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall

Reports, or sent directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have

no involved vehicles currently assigned.

The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle

Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other

than follow-up necessary to complete this recall is a violation of law in several

states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the

follow-up necessary to complete this recall.

PART INFORMATION

Parts required to complete this recall are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care

and Aftersales (GMCC&A). Please refer to your “involved vehicles listing” before ordering

parts. Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an
