Fastener Issues Drive More GM Recalls
FEATURES
General Motors announced six new recalls affecting 717,949 vehicles across its brands, MotorTrend reports.
Some of the recalls involve issues with fasteners.
Included in the recalls were several models with “incorrectly installed” power seat height adjusters. “The bolt which secures the adjuster may fall out, causing the seat to move up and down freely,” according to MotorTrend.
GM said it’s aware of one crash and three injuries related to the faulty height-adjuster bolt, but no fatalities.
The recall covers 414,333 vehicles, including 2011-2012 Chevrolet Camaros, 2010-2012 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers, 2011-2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse sedans, and 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX crossovers.
A second recall involves 1,919 2014-15 Chevrolet Sparks with an “improperly fastened lower control arm bolt,” MotorTrend reports. No crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been reported due to this issue.
A third recall involves the roof carrier systems on 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon/Yukon Denali. The roof carriers reportedly were attached with “incorrect retaining nuts, resulting in holes or rips in the roof rail airbags if they deploy,” according to MotorTrend. Only 22 vehicles are affected by this recall.
So far in 2014 GM has recalled more than 28 million vehicles globally, including 25.48 million in the U.S.
