General Motors is recalling 7,507 2011 trucks and SUVs within the U.S., which includes the 2011 Cadillac Escalade and 2011 Chevrolet Colorado, in two individual recalls concerning transmission and steering problems.
- Cadillac Escalade
GM is recalling 6,768 2011 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks becasue ot a malfunctioning transmission shift lever which could trigger the vehicle to roll away, according to the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“These vehicles may have been built with an automatic transmission adjustment clip that may not retain the shift cable in the correct position,” stated NHTSA in the product recalls review of the issue. “The PRNDL shift lever may not accurately reflect the position of the transmission gear. The driver could move the shifter to ‘Park’ and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in Park.”
“The driver may not be able to restart the vehicle, and the vehicle could roll away as the driver or other occupants exit the vehicle or have exited, resulting in the possibility of the vehicle striking them or someone around the vehicle, or could result in a crash without prior warning.”
GM sellers will certainly install a brand new automated transmission adjustment clip. The recall is predicted to start on July 19. Owners can easily get in touch with Chevrolet at (800) 630-2438 or GMC at (866) 996-9463.
In the second recall, GM is recalling 739 2011 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado HD/LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra HD/LD and Yukon/Yukon XL products with regards to problems on loose steering bolts which could bring about a loss of steering, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“The intermediate steering shaft attaching bolts may not have been tightened to the proper specification,” stated NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. “This could allow the joints to separate, and the driver could experience loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.”
GM sellers will certainly examine as well as make sure that the advanced steering shaft bolts will be tightened to the appropriate specification. The recall is expected to start upon July 13. Owners can contact Cadillac at (800) 458-8006; Chevrolet at (800) 630-2438; or GMC at (866) 996-9463.
Should you own any of the previously mentioned GM trucks or SUVs, be conscious these two recalls are within the works this month.
