There have been no reports of injuries or crashes, GM said today.

GM is offering to pay vehicle owners and lessees $100 and remove the heated windshield washer fluid system, according to a safety recall notice today.

"While our analysis shows the number of incidents is very small compared with the number of vehicles on the road, we want our customers to have complete peace of mind," Jeff Boyer, GM's executive director of safety said in a prepared statement today. "We always want to make sure customers can count on the safety and quality of their GM vehicle."
