GM recalls over 98,000
trucks on U.S. market
DETROIT, Jan 11 (Reuters) - General
Motors Corp. (GM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) is recalling more than 98,000
pickups, vans and sport utility vehicles because of a potential problem
with their power steering and braking systems, federal safety regulators
said on Tuesday.
An advisory on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration said the problem -- which can hamper but not eliminate
the ability to stop or steer the vehicles -- stems from fractures in their
hydraulic pump driveshafts.
Vehicles affected by the recall are from the 2000 model year
and include Chevrolet C/K and Silverado pickups and Suburban SUVs. GMC Savana
vans are also affected, along with GMC Sierra pickups and Yukon XL SUVs.
GM was hit with numerous vehicle safety recalls last
year and Tuesday's announcement, another blow to its recent claims of improved
quality, came as it was playing host in Detroit to the North American International
Auto Show.
