Today, General Motors adds more cars to their heavily growing list, with another 2.7 million being recalled for reported minor defects in wiring, braking, and windshield wiper fluid hoses.
GM recalled over 11.1 million vehicles so far this year, and has only sold 904,000 new vehicles as both of these numbers are bound to get worse. The latest opinion is that the cadillac ELR is the new official biggest car flop as the predicted sales and production numbers both as well, come in way lower than expected.
As the latest recall news goes:
These are remarkably broad and it captures some of the company’s most celebrated models. Sure, GM is mostly welcoming back into the shop 2004 to 2012 Chevrolet Malibu's.
Also, they are recalling 19,225 of its current Cadillac CTS sedans, Motor Trend’s “Car of the Year,” as well as some 500 contemporary Silverado and Sierra pickups and 112,000 Corvettes from 2005 to 2007.
Some 2015 models chassis rods can come loose, resulting in an automatic crash, none have been reported yet as most of the potential models haven't left dealer lots yet.
Even though many of the potential defects seem valid and dangerous, GM is apparently erring well to the side of caution with its sweeping response.
Take the purported issue on the Cadillac's: GM says the windshield wipers could stop working after a jump-start and when they are gummed up by ice and snow—that seems like a fairly specific set of conditions.
The Corvettes, meanwhile, may have an issue with their low-beam headlights.
