General Motors is recalling 10,344 2012 Chevy Impalas over a potential power-steering failure, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
On some models, the power-steering hose wasn’t assembled correctly, which can cause the hose to melt due to its close proximity to the catalytic converter when the engine is on. If this happens, there could be a loss of power steering. Power-steering fluid is flammable and could also cause an engine fire.
GM dealers will inspect the hose and make necessary repairs, free of charge. The recall will begin today. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-630-2438 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
Recall Alert: 2012 Buick LaCrosse
GM is recalling 4,077 2012 Buick LaCrosse sedans because the electronic stability system may not be properly calibrated, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In the affected vehicles, which were built between June 9 and July 2, the Stabilitrak system may not detect a sensor malfunction. As a result, the warning light indicating the system is not operating would not illuminate. You can check your car’s assembly date on a label affixed to the driver-side doorjamb.
A malfunctioning sensor could cause the electronic stability system to falsely activate and cause sudden changes in vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall is expected to begin this month. Dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module for free. Owners can call Buick at 866-608-8080 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
