GM reports same window bug as Toyota

General Motors of Canada has just issued a recall similar to Toyota's. However, instead of nearly 240,000 vehicles, only 16,724 units are affected.

On certain 2009 Pontiac Vibe, a driver's side power window master switch could stick or become inoperative. If anyone attempted to lubricate the switch, the entire assembly could overheat and melt, producing smoke and potentially leading to a fire.

As a result, dealers will inspect the power window master switch and either apply a specialized grease that inhibits heat build-up or replace the power window master switch circuit board, as necessary.
