Defect in my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado as reported by gm in a letter recently received. Recall initiated in canada, why has NHTSA not issued one in us. Gm states my 2007 truck is defective and the "interface between the electrical terminals on the relay resistor module and the wiring connector that powers the module may be incapable of conducting higher current levels for sustained periods of the blower motor operation. . . . Thus can cause overheating which will cause the blower motor not to operate and can be accompanied by a burning smell or smoke. " basically my car can catch fire.

I am a fire investigator working for an insurance company. I recently investigated a fire loss involving a 2007 chevy Silverado classic which originated beneath the bench seat and involved the electrical wiring, which is attached to the driver side of the seat. Fortunately the 85 year old owner of the vehicle was not in the truck at the time of the fire.
