Malibus recalled over faulty defroster, wires

General Motors is recalling nearly 60,000 Chevy Malibu mid-size cars, to fix window defrosters that may not work and power seat wiring that can catch fire. The largest of the recalls covers more than 44,000 Malibus from the 2014 model year, including about 1,000 sold in Canada. GM says a computer that runs the ventilation system can revert to the previous setting even if a driver sets the controls to defrost. If that happens, the driver may not be able to see where they’re going. GM dealers will reprogram the computer at no cost to customers. GM also says dealers will inspect seat wiring and repair it if needed, at no cost to customers.
