switches can cause fires.
DETROIT (AP) -- General Motors and Isuzu are recalling more than 258,000 SUVs in the U.S. and Canada to fix short-circuits in power-window and door-lock switches that can cause fires.
The recall covers 2006 and 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 97-X SUVs, sold or registered where salt and other chemicals are used to clear roads in the winter.
GM has reports of 28 fires. It doesn't know of any injuries caused by the problem.
The recall affects SUVs sold or registered in 20 states, including Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Dealers will replace the power-window switch for free, according to NHTSA documents posted Saturday. Owners will get letters telling them when to schedule appointments.
