Interesting enough is the fix they have in mind... Likely as curver900 stated, they likely will simply cut the cord.

"To fix the issue, dealers will disable the block heater. GM will provide free replacement block heaters and cords under a separate customer satisfaction campaign."

The already had a recall for the same block heater issue once before and yes they cut the cord to keep people from using it. They replaced the block heaters but apparently some of the new ones are bad too. So would seem they will again cut cords until they get replacements.

Depending on where you live the block heater isn’t really needed, but for some it is.

But this is like those dang airbags. I had a Honda Accord that had the same airbag replaced twice. Because the replacements were no good either. I got a recall notice a third time to change them yet again but I had already sold the car…
