NEWS BRIEF

General Motors Co is recalling 9,784 cars “to address potential problems with improperly tightened suspension bolts,” Reuters reports.
GM is recalling 8,519 2013 model year Chevrolet Malibu sedans in the U.S. “as one or more rear suspension bolts may not have been tightened properly, which could lead to loss of vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash.” 

GM is recalling another 1,060 of the cars in Canada, Mexico and overseas.

Owners initially may notice noise and minor handling issues, but as the condition progresses sudden changes in vehicle handling could occur, NHTSA said. ©2013 GlobalFastenerNews.com
