GM Recalls 145,000 Trucks For Missing Hood Latches

The recall covers the 2010-12 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks that may not have a back-up hood latch, including 118,800 in the United States, 15,264 in Canada, 7,492 in Mexico and 4,069 in other nations.

If the primary latch isn't engaged while the vehicle is in motion, the hood could strike the windshield and potentially cause a crash, GM said in a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Another Government Motors quality built vehicle. Remember when GM forgot to put rear brakes in some of their cars?

Another defective car product brought to you by odumbo and Government Motors.

This is a car site. Is it too much to ask that content be edited by someone who knows something about cars? The article is about products sold over the last couple of years, not the Colorado truck pictured which has yet to be sold in the states. Come on 009; you know better.

Now that is quality control, maybe they should weigh the vehicles to see if parts are missing.

And those UAW workers keep telling us THEIR cars are just as HIGH QUALITY as the Germans and Japanese cars. What a bunch of JUNK. Keep smoking that funny tobacco on your lunch break and drinking beer too; maybe you can be famous for that again (and not get fired).
