GM avoids recall of 2m trucks, SUVs over rusty brake lines
Southfield, Michigan
GENERAL Motors Co avoided a recall of about two million large pickups and sport utility vehicles over rusted brake lines after a four-year investigation by US regulators.
The brake-line corrosion in the 1999 to 2003 model trucks is routine wear and tear that mostly occurs in northern states where salt is often used on roads in winter, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration official said in a media briefing before the Thursday announcement. The investigation covered 10 Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC models, including the Escalade, Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon.
