GM to recall 3.5 mln vehicles
WASHINGTON (AP) - General Motors has agreed to recall some 3.5 million
vehicles to conclude a five-year government investigation into problems with
anti-lock brakes installed on sport utility vehicles, vans and pickup
trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which made the
announcement Wednesday, launched the probe after receiving reports of
performance problems on an array of GM vehicles manufactured in the 1990s.
Currently, the agency has on file 10,861 reports of brake problems on
General Motors S and T trucks, which included reports of 2,111 crashes and
293 injuries. The agency has also received but not confirmed 2,400 reports
of brake problems in Chevrolet Suburbans equipped with anti-lock brakes. In
both cases, the units were built by Kelsey-Hayes.
