H General Motors ανακαλεί 9.200 Chevrolet Colorado και GMC Canyon, με ημερομηνίες κατασκευής από 25 Αυγούστου μέχρι 24 Σεπτεμβρίου του 2015 για το πρώτο και από 28 Αυγούστου μέχρι 24 Σεπτεμβρίου του 2015 για το δεύτερο.

Ο λόγος είναι ότι ένα κάλυμμα στη κονσόλα θα μπορούσε να ανοίξει σε περίπτωση σύγκρουσης, και τα αντικείμενα στο εσωτερικό του χώρου αποθήκευσης μπορεί να χτυπήσουν τους επιβάτες κατά

τη διάρκεια του ατυχήματος. Δεν έχει αναφερθεί κάποιος τραυματισμός ή θάνατος και οι ιδιοκτήτες θα πρέπει να πάνε στις τοπικές αντιπροσωπείες ώστε να αλλαχτούν τα μέρη της κονσόλας με νέα, βελτιωμένα.

SUMMARY:General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015.
