ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2003-2023 Chevrolet Express Cutaway and GMC Savana Cutaway incomplete vehicles equipped with wiring for an optional rear heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. When the HVAC blower motor circuit is left unused with exposed connectors and wiring, the circuit can corrode and overheat.
- What it can cause
- An overheated electrical circuit increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will properly seal the rear HVAC blower motor circuits at the left side B-pillar, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 2, 2023. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GMC's number for this recall is N222386050.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 150,830 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2003 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 20 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 61 times before this, most recently in January 2023 as 23V017000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 42 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 76 complaints with NHTSA, 69 of them before this campaign was filed. 8 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2003, 19 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V839000 (power train), 24V702000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 21V189000 (electrical system), 21V115000 (tires).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on April 6, 2023 as campaign 23V247000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
