One of the “Big Three” U.S. automakers has just become the latest to announce a major recall due to a possibly dangerous issue.
This time, General Motors is warning drivers of more than 90,000 vehicles that they need to address a potential transmission malfunction.
As Fox Business reported:
The automaker said in a recall report submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the transmission control valve inside some 2020-2021 Cadillac CT4, 2020-2021 Cadillac CT5, 2019-2020 Cadillac CT6 and 2020-2022 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles featuring a 10-speed transmission could suffer “excess wear” over time that could result in “harsh shifting” and a “momentary” lock up of the wheels in “rare cases.”
A brief lock-up of the wheels while the recalled vehicles are in motion could pose an “increased risk of a crash,” according to the NHTSA recall report.
“This recall only involves vehicles equipped with the 10-speed transmission,” the report said of the recalled vehicles. “Vehicles equipped with other transmissions are not affected by this recall.”
