GM Recalls Vehicles in China
Over a dozen models are recalled due to windshield-wiper fluid system defects
General Motors China recalls a number of auto models sold in China due to flaws in windshield-wiper fluid systems. The GAQSIQ (General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine) said in a statement that the recall will start from July 26, without disclosing the number of vehicles affected.
As the GAQSIQ announces, a defect in a heated windshield-wiper fluid system, which helps to prevent frost on the windshield in winter, could lead to fires in some cases. GM will remove the system for the recalled vehicles.
The models involved include Cadillac DTS, the Hummer H2, Buick Lucerne 2006-2009, Cadillac Escalade ESV and EXT made between 2007-2009, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Saturn Outlook, as well as the Chevrolet Traverse made in 2009.
This is the second GM recall in China over the past two months. On June 8, the company recalled 1.5 million vehicles because of defects in the windshield wiper system.
And earlier this year, GM China also announced a recall of Cadillac CTS models made between 2003 and 2007, which involved 7,942 vehicles sold in the China market.
GM sold a total of 1.83 million units in China last year, increasing 66.9% from the previous year.
