Recall on the HHRs??

Did anybody hear about the recall on our cars? One of my buddies told me that there is a recall on the windshield wiper fluid container or something. He said that because the fluid is heated the wires on some vehicles shorted out and caused fires under the hood? Does anyone know anything about this or is my buddy on crack???

It is crack as heated washer fluid is not avaiable on the HHR.

GM has stopped production of this option on other vehicles and has already recalled them on those vehicles due to a the possible fire issue.

Of course the recall is only for vehicles with the heated washer option.

The recall is for a crack in the washer fluid tank?
