General Motors to recall 1.3 mn cars in North America
|
|
General Motors Co will recall 1.3 million cars of its Chevrolet and Pontiac brands from customers across the US, Canada and Mexico, according to news reports.
Problems with the power steering in the Chevrolet compact model Cobalt and several Pontiac models could cause difficulties in manoeuvring the vehicles at low speed, Bloomberg news agency reported late Monday.
The affected models need to be recalled to have new electric motors fitted to their steering.
General Motors has received more than 1,100 complaints of power steering failure. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced its intention to investigate in February.
The company said 14 accidents and one injury had been linked to the defective steering, but stressed that it was still possible to steer the car if the power assistance fails. The steering is most affected at low speeds, it added.
The world's number one carmaker Toyota has also been in the spotlight recently following the recall of 8.5 million vehicles at the end of last year, mostly in the US. |

Colorado Star

The Colorado Star is essentially a local Colorado newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Colorado, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Colorado, Colorado, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Colorado Star. |
