General Motors Issues Two More Recalls For SUVs, Mini Cars

General Motors announced two more recalls on Friday, pushing its total for the year to 71, affecting almost 30 million vehicles in North America. The biggest of the new recalls covers just over 430,000 Cadillac SRX and Saab 9-4X SUVs, mainly in North America. The company says some rear suspension nuts may not have been tightened properly, which could cause the toe link adjuster to separate from the suspension, possibly causing a crash. Dealers will inspect the SUVs and install a new assembly if needed. Unsold SRXs are being checked to make sure the nuts are tightened properly. Other recalls cover nearly 94,000 Chevrolet Spark mini-cars from 2013 through 2015 in the U.S and Canada. Rust can cause a secondary hood latch to stick, and the hood can open unexpectedly, blocking the driver's vision and causing a crash. Dealers will replace the latch when parts are available. GM has told dealers not to sell about 13,000 cars on their lots until the repairs are made.
