General Motors will recall about 1.5 million vehicles worldwide to address a problem with a heated windshield-wiper-fluid system that could lead to fire, the company announced Tuesday. GM said it would disable the heated washer-fluid-system module that could lead to fires. The Detroit automaker will pay owners and those leasing vehicles $100 each since the feature is being disabled. GM said it was aware of five fires, but there had been no injuries or crashes reported. This is GM’s second recall over the issue in two years.

The recall covers the 2006-09 model year Buick Lucerne, Cadillac DTS and Hummer H2; 2008-09 Buick Enclave and Cadillac CTS; 2007-09 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT; 2007-09 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban and Tahoe; 2007-09 GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL; 2007-09 Saturn Outlook; and 2009 Chevrolet Traverse.
