GM Expands Recall Lead Over Ford: 300,000 2003-2004 General Motors SUVs to Be Recalled
By James B. Bleeker
In the U.S., General Motors Corporation is recalling 286,478 2003-2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender, and Oldsmobile Bravada and 2004 Buick Ranier sport utility vehicles for a directional signal defect that may cause all signal lights to flash when the lever arm is pushed up or down. Elsewhere, mainly in Canada and Mexico, 19,195 of these models will be recalled.
On outstanding investigations, GM remains mum about the 3.1 million pickup trucks under upgraded investigation for collapsing tailgates and the 1.3 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles under investigation for a corroding brake sensor. See "After 13,000 Consumer Complaints and Warranty Claims and 83 Reported Injuries, NHTSA Ratchets Up Investigation into Collapsing Tailgates of Another 3.1 Million GM Pickups," Auto on Info, April 2005 and "General Motors Vehicles Hit with Another Safety Investigation: NHTSA to Investigate 1.3 Million GM Pickup Trucks and SUVs for Corroding Brake Part," Auto on Info, May 2005.
The following chart depicts year-to-date 2005 totals for U.S. recalls found in articles of the Detroit News, Detroit Free Press, and Yahoo! News.
For perspective, the following charts depict previously published recall totals.
The charts point to a strong recall preference for GM products.
