GM mengt zich ook in de strijd:
egmCarTech.com schreef:GM recalling 97,843 units including 2011 Equinox, Terrain and SRX

Afbeelding

General Motors announced today that it is recalling close to 98,000 units of the 2011 model year Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX. The recall is being taken because the front seatbelts could become loose in a crash, which could lead to injury. The problem was discovered during seatbelt development tests in Sept. and the two incidents that occurred during the tests were on the driver’s side seatbelt.

A total of 97,843 vehicles are being recalled in the United States including 59,606 Chevrolet Equinox models, 25,674 GMC Terrain models and 12,563 Cadillac SRX models.

GM will start notifying owners of the vehicles involved in January. All of the repairs will be paid for by GM.

Maar Honda laat zich ook niet onbetuigd, na de mega-actie van gisteren doen ze er nog even een klein schepje bovenop:
egmCarTech.com schreef:Honda recalling 35,984 units of the Passport SUV from 1998 to 2002

Afbeelding

Honda said it is recalling 35,984 units of the Passport SUV from the 1998 to 2002 model year to inspect the front brackets of the rear suspension lower trailing links.

“In areas where road salt is extensively used, the forward mounting bracket for the left or right rear suspension lower link may suffer excessive corrosion, Honda said in a statement. “This may cause the lower link bracket to become detached from the frame, affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash. A small number of incidents have been reported related to the issue; however no injuries have been reported.”

The recall is limited to the “salt belt” states where road salt is commonly used during the winter, including: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Washington D.C.

To fix the issue Honda will inspect the lower trailing link frame brackets for corrosion and replace them if necessary. Notification to customers begins on December 17, 2010.

Het mag dan nog net geen 2011 zijn, maar Honda neemt alvast een voorschot op het nieuwe jaar:
egmCarTech schreef:Honda recalls 10,800 2010-2011 Accord, 2011 Pilot models

Afbeelding

Why do we cover recalls? Not because we have fun doing so or because it’s something exciting to read about. We cover recalls because we care about our readers and want to keep them informed about the issues their vehicles might be facing (aren’t we nice people?).

Either way, Honda has announced that it is recalling approximately 10,800 model year 2010 to 2011 Accord and 2011 model year Pilot SUVs to prevent a potential front suspension failure.

“A potential problem with the machinery used to tighten the spindle nuts on the front axles of both vehicles, as well as the damper attachment bracket bolts for the Pilot, may cause the front suspension of a small number of these vehicles to fail.” Honda said in a statement. “A flaw in the software for the equipment used for this assembly process was identified at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, LLC (HMA). This concern is isolated to vehicles produced at HMA.”

Honda will start notifying owners of the vehicles today and will replace the necessary parts to make you feel safe again. Honda owners can go to www.recalls.honda.com or call (800) 999-1009

Maar het vuurwerk van vandaag komt toch weer eens van GM:
egmCarTech schreef:Cadillac CTS model year 2005-2007 recalled due to passenger air bag issue

Afbeelding

General Motors announced today that it is recalling about 109,000 Cadillac CTS models from the 2005-2007 model year due to a kink, bend or fold in the front passenger presence system mat that can lead to the passenger air bag failing to deploy.

“If the airbag becomes disabled, the passenger airbag status indicator on the rearview mirror will show that the airbag is off, the Air Bag indicator will be illuminated, and a Service Air Bag message will appear in the Driver Information Center,” GM said in a statement. “In the event of a crash severe enough to activate the front passenger airbag, if the passenger airbag does not deploy, it could result in increased injury for the occupant.”

No known injuries or fatalities have been reported related to this condition. GM will start notifying owners of the recall in February 2011. Owners of certain other 2005-2007 that have significantly lower incident rates will be provided free repairs for the issue for up to 10 years or 120,000 miles.

For more information, owners may contact Cadillac at 866-982-2339 or NHTSA’s hot line at 888-327-4236.

Damn, dit blijkt niet eens het recordjaar te zijn: :bonk:
egmCarTech schreef:Estimated 17.2 million vehicles recalled in 2010, Toyota leads the pack

We’ve never really cared about covering news on automotive recall campaigns until this year when Toyota made headlines with its massive worldwide recalls of floor mat pedal entrapment and sticky accelerator pedals. According to an analysis put together by Wards Auto, automakers issued 136 recall campaigns in the United States in 2012 for an estimated 17.2 million light vehicles that were called back to be fixed.

While that is one of the poorest performances in recent years, it is still short of the record 24.3 million in 2000.

In 2009, 16.4 million vehicles, including some heavy-duty models, were recalled, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Not surprisingly, Toyota Motor North America led the industry in both campaigns initiated and total vehicles recalled for the second consecutive year. The once quality leader issued 17 campaigns in 2010 recalling some 6.6 million vehicles in the United States. In 2009, Toyota recalled some 4.8 million vehicles.

De laatste van het jaar wellicht, of zou er morgen net voor het sluiten van de markt nog een knaller komen?
egmCarTech schreef:FoMoCo recalls 14,737 2011 F-Series pickups, Edge, Lincoln MKX

Afbeelding

If you thought we could end 2010 without any more recalls, you thought wrong. FoMoCo has just announced it is recalling a total of 14,737 units of certain 2011 model year F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, Edge and Lincoln MKX units that were built during a 6-day production period.

Ford says that the supplier of the body control module manufactured modules that may have the potential for an internal short.

“If an electrical short develops, an overheating condition may occur, which can result in an unattended vehicle fire,” the NHTSA said in a statement.

To fix the problem dealers will replace the body control module if necessary free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before Jan. 10, 2011.

For more info, owners can call Ford at 866-436-7332 or NHTSA’s hot line at 888-327-4236.

En daar is het antwoord al, wat Ford kan kan Chrysler beter:
egmCarTech schreef:Chrysler recalls 150,000 Ram trucks and Dodge Journey vehicles

Afbeelding

Chrysler today recalled nearly 150,000 trucks and SUVs to address problems including steering, air bag issues and the potential for its Ram trucks to stall. The Auburn Hills automaker is conducting three separate recalls to fix the issue, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website.

The first of the three recall covers about 22,000 Ram trucks from 2008-2011 model years that address a steering problem. Chrysler said it received about 86 complaints over a three year period.

The second recall covers 65,000 2009 model year Dodge Journey SUVs that fix side air bags that might not deploy. Chrysler said it has received 23 complaints from customers about the air bag lamp but didn’t receive any reports of crashes, fires or injuries.

The last recall includes 57,000 Ram 1500 trucks from the 2011 model year to fix components in rear axles that could cause the trucks to stall.

All the recalls are expected to start in February. Owners can call Chrysler at (800) 853-1403 for more information.

Autointernationaal.nl schreef:Toyota roept 1,7 miljoen auto's terug

Toyota roept wereldwijd bijna 1,7 miljoen auto's naar de garage terug, omdat de kans bestaat dat de betreffende exemplaren een defect aan de brandstofleiding hebben. Het gaat vooral om auto’s die op de Japanse thuismarkt werden verkocht. 421.000 auto's die worden teruggeroepen, kregen op exportmarkten een eigenaar, zo maakten Toyota en het Japanse ministerie van Transport bekend.
In de brandstofleiding kunnen kleine scheurtjes ontstaan. Als de scheurtjes doorzetten, kan dat lekkages veroorzaken, aldus het ministerie. In Japan zijn 140 meldingen binnengekomen. In geen van de gevallen had het defect een ongeluk veroorzaakt, aldus het ministerie.
In Nederland moeten 6.606 Toyotabezitters met hun auto terug naar de garage. Het gaat om het model Avensis, gebouwd tussen 2000 en 2008. De eigenaren krijgen persoonlijk bericht, zo laat een woordvoerder van de Japanse autofabrikant weten. Wereldwijd moeten ook andere modellen terug naar de garage, zoals types van Crown en van premiumdochter Lexus. De afgelopen jaren heeft Toyota wereldwijd vele miljoenen auto's teruggeroepen wegens onder meer problemen met het gaspedaal.

Ik had me voorgenomen ermee te stoppen. Maar ook Ford zou alweer 400.000 auto's terugroepen, en de een of ander consumentenorganisatie zou willen dat Jeep 3 miljoen Grand Cherokee's terughaalt. Het jaar begint dus weer goed...

Nou vooruit, deze mag ook nog even mee:
egmCarTech schreef:VWTF? Volkswagen recalls 20 Beetles, replaces them with identical ones

Afbeelding

Here is one of the weirdest recalls we’ve probably ever seen in history. Volkswagen is recalling about 20 new Beetles and replacing them with identical vehicles. What’s the reason? Apparently there is an issue when the cars were made and whether or not they complied with particular crash-test regulations.

Starting Sept. 1, all vehicles sold in the United States had to be crash tested at 35 mph. The 20 Volkswagen Beetles being recalled were built between Sept. 1 and Sept. 22 but were crash tested at 30 mph.

According to Volkswagen spokeswoman Sheriece Matias, the 20 units must be taken off the road legally.

Customers will be given the cars that were crash tested at only 30 mph but the difference is that these cars were built before Sept.1 when a 30 mph test was legal. The recall covers a total of 27 units, 20 of which are out on the road, said Matias.
