GM recalls 92,221 trucks and SUVs for ignition lock defect
General Motors Co. is recalling 92,221 full-size trucks and sport utility vehicles for a defect in ignition lock systems that can cause safety problems in hot conditions.
The recall, announced Thursday, covers certain 2011-12 models and 2007-14 models that were repaired with defective parts. The recall is for U.S., Canadian, Mexican and exported vehicles.
The affected models are Chevrolet Silverado light-duty and heavy-duty pickups; Avalanche, Tahoe and Suburban; GMC Sierra light-duty and heavy-duty pickups; and Yukon and Yukon XL; Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT.
GM says the ignition lock actuators may be too wide, making turning the key difficult when it’s hot inside the cab. No crashes or injuries have been reported.
Last year, GM recalled 2.6 million small cars for defective ignition switches, linked to at least 42 deaths and 58 injuries.
