Chevrolet Exterior Problems

Back in February, General Motors recalled 200 of its 2016-17 Chevy Suburban HD vehicles because they installed convex mirrors where flat mirrors are supposed to go.

That violates federal safety standards and doesn't reflect well on their attention to detail.

Owners can call 800-222-1020 and use recall number 17017 to see if their SUVs were involved.

GM manufactured cargo vans that are either missing mirrors, or have improperly shaped mirrors. Both are violations of federal safety laws.

The 2016-2017 Chevrolet Express and 2016 GMC Savana were manufactured without inside rear-view mirrors and with right-hand convex exterior rear-view mirrors. That's a problem because federal safety regulations say the vans are required to have either inside rear-view mirrors or both left- and right-hand flat exterior rear-view mirrors.

The recall only affects 40 vans, but still the GM design team should take a long, hard look in the ... well, you know.

GM ordered a windshield wiper recall that was limited to Canada's "corrosion provinces" back in June.

Well, turns out we use plenty of road salt here in the US of A as well, so the recall is expanding.

"The first trouble reports came from Canada in December 2015 when SUV owners were complaining about failing windshield wipers during the winter. Dealers said the reported failures involved the windshield wiper’s ball joints coming loose from corrosion and separating while the wipers were activated."

No recall date has been set and GM isn't exactly sure what they're going to do yet. All they know is the 2013 Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain need to be repaired.
