The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/national highway traffic safety administration/) may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/malibu/) models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura (http://www.autoblog.com/saturn/aura/) sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general motors/) recalled 8,000 Pontiac (http://www.autoblog.com/pontiac/) G6 (http://www.autoblog.com/pontiac/g6/) models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nhtsa/) is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/13/nhtsa-could-add-1m-cars-to-gm-recall/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:12:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds (http://www.weblogsinc.com/feed-terms/).
