The Brazilian subsidiary of U.S automobile giant General Motors (GM) on Monday announced a recall of 29,000 vehicles manufactured in January to August this year in the country.
The company said the move was due to problems found in screws of the vehicles' suspensions and seats.
According to GM's press statement, models such as Corsa, Meriva and Montana manufactured during the Jan. 19-May 17 period need to have screws in their front suspension's screws. The screws were more rigid than the originally specified for the models, said the company.
GM stressed that there is a risk of harming endurance of the suspension screws and, in some cases, causing an accident, if the screws happen to break.
Crew cab S10 and SUV Blazer, produced on July 30-Aug. 31, were also included on the recall list. GM stated the screws used to fix the models' front seats received inappropriate thermal treatment, which can affect the vehicles' structural characteristics "in extreme situations" and cause the seats to break.
