Remember the Hummer? GM is recalling it - USA TODAY
It may have been a long time since you thought about the Hummer, the oversized SUV that made General Motors the target of environmentalists. Though the brand may have long since been discontinued, Hummers are still rolling around out there — and now it's being recalled. GM is pulling back nearly 200,000 Hummer SUVs worldwide because ventilation fan motor controls can overheat and possibly start a fire. The automaker also will recall about 51,000 Chevrolet Spark and Sonic models to repair a problem with the radio software that can lock the display screen in the OnStar navigation mode. The company says the module that controls the heating and air conditioning blower motor speed can overheat when operated for a long time, melting nearby plastic and increasing the risk of a fire. GM said it is unaware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to the Spark and Sonic radio problem. GM shut down production of Hummers in 2010 after a proposed sale to a Chinese company fell through. Source: www.usatoday.com
