DETROIT

General Motors is recalling nearly 60,000 Chevy Malibu midsize 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. 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 won’t be able to clear the windshield to see where they’re going. The problem happens when the cars are started.
