Will GM ever be capable to focus on merely creating cars and trucks? The beleaguered automotive juggernaut has identified but yet another safety concern it demands to repair. Automotive News reports that driver-side airbag connections in the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks had been wired incorrectly to right the dilemma, the airbag’s sensing and diagnostic module will be reprogrammed.
GM started delivering the trucks to dealerships just 2 weeks ago Chevrolet and GMC dealers have been instructed to maintain the automobiles until the repair is implemented, which will come about within the next handful of days.
At least the fix will not be a key inconvenience. Just 49 cars are in the hands of buyers, a GM spokesman told AN. The rest of them are nevertheless at the production plant, in transit, or sitting in dealer inventory. GM says the trucks are safe to drive loaners are obtainable for spooked owners.
GM also recalled far more than 520,000 crossover SUV models globally (380,000 in the U.S.) based on the Theta Premium platform, such as the 2010–15 Cadillac SRX and all 457 Saab 9-4X units ever constructed. The dealer will verify the impacted autos for improper torque on a rear toe-link adjuster. 3 crashes have occurred, according to GM. Moreover, practically 90,000 units of the 2013–15 Chevy Spark will be recalled to verify for corrosion of the secondary hood-latch striker if it sticks, the hood could open unexpectedly. No U.S. incidents have been reported, but 3 situations of the hood popping open occurred in Europe.
To the unsuspecting observer, the sheer number of recalls at GM is bewildering—there have been 71 in our industry so far this year. But CEO Mary Barra and the rest of GM’s leading brass seem to be taking no chances after the lax recall policy of preceding years and the subsequent political fallout have shaken the company to its core.
