eAssist is a hybrid drive system that includes an electric motor to assist the gas engine under certain driving conditions. These vehicles are being recalled because there may be an internal fault with the Generator Control Module (GCM). The module could allow the battery to discharge to the point were the vehicle could stall and/or not start. Also, a burning smell, smoke, and/or a fire could develop in the trunk. Dealers will inspect and replace the GCM to correct this concern.

If you experience any engine stalling condition and/or burning smell, please contact your local dealer as soon as possible and follow their recommendations. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call. The General Motors Recall number is 13136.
