General Motors Co. is recalling more than 316,350 sport-utility vehicles and a handful of other car models in North America, marking the 79th recall action the auto maker has taken this year, reported The WSJ.
The auto maker found that an intermittent or permanent power loss of low-beam headlamps exists in its Buick LaCrosse sedans along with its Chevrolet, GMC, Saab and Isuzu midsize SUVs. GM hasn't been able to confirm whether the issue is linked to any accidents.
The company has now recalled more than 30.4 million vehicles in this year alone.
The recall is part of the company’s revived safety blitz to act more quickly on potential problems following the fallout from its delayed response to recalling 2.5 million vehicles equipped with a faulty ignition switch.
A total of 36 deaths have now been connected to the faulty-ignition switch problem as determined by Ken Feinberg, who oversees the auto maker’s compensation fund. Claims are evaluated by Mr. Feinberg, who acts independently of GM. The claim period runs until the end of January.
