Recall Round-Up

Sorry for skipping my usual tradition of posting recalls. I have been occupied with school work.

Investigation: NHTSA is looking into the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and 2010 Jeep Wranger for engine fire issues with two complaints for the compact car and eight complaints for the small SUV.

Honda: Yet another recall for the struggling company. This one is for 554,000 2002-2004 CR-V and 2003 Pilot crossovers to repair an issue with the low beam headlights concerning faulty switch wiring that can prevent the headlights from coming on. This is obviously a hazard.  If you are not sure why, you should not be reading this blog.

GM: Recalling select full size SUV's over steering issues. This recall is for one of GM's best selling categories, the large SUV. The recall concerns the 2012 Chevrolet Suburban and Express and the GMC Savana and Yukon XL. The pitman shafts were not hardened properly leading to fracture and loss of steering control. There are a total of 6,159 vehicles in the recall.

BMW: This falls under the category of minor recall as BMW announces a recall of over 1.3 million 5 and 6 series vehicles from 2003-2010. Only about 368,000 are in the United States. The recall is for the cars battery cable covers which could have been improperly mounted. It isa slight error and an easy fix but failure to do so could cause failure to start or fires. Check that one out at your local BMW dealer during your next service.

Porsche: This recall concerns the 2012 911 Carrera S over a possible fuel leak. 1,232 cars are being recalled because the routing of a cooling line which could interfere with the fuel line causing the later to become disconnected. This could lead to stalling or fire so this one is an emergency check.

Hyundai: This recall concerns seatbelts in the December 2, 2010 through March 7, 2012 production span where the rear center seatbelt does not meet safety standards.
