DETROIT — General Motors Corp. (GM) is recalling more than 193,000 vehicles on the U.S. market to fix a variety of safety defects, federal safety regulators said Thursday.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (search) said the recalls included one covering 155,465 pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans that may suffer hydraulic fluid leaks, causing increased steering and braking effort and potential crashes.

Models affected, all from the 2004-2005 model years, include the Avalanche, Express, Kodiak, Silverado and Suburban from GM's Chevrolet division. GMC's Savana, Sierra, Topkick, Yukon XL and the Hummer H2 were also affected, NHTSA said.

Separately, the agency said 19,924 Cadillac SRX and Cadillac XLRs, along with Pontiac Grand Prix models from the 2004 model year, were being recalled because of potential problems with their accelerator pedals.

Lastly, NHTSA said GM was recalling 17,815 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Isuzu Ascender SUVs from the 2005 model year because their windshields may not have been mounted properly.

"If a crash occurs, the windshield may not be retained, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant," NHTSA said.

 

See where Ford is recalling several hundred thousand 97-02 F-150's and Expeditions due to the cruise control catching on fire. Over 10 in the Houston area alone have caught fire.

my mom had a couple cases in her court about lincons doing that and she was quite pissed when she found out my old 97 f150 had the same thing

 

Problem is probably due to the unit over working itself trying to maintain highway speeds.

 

Now that's damn funny.
