More info in NY Times this A.M.:
General Motors issued several wide-ranging recalls on Monday involving more than two million vehicles, including some of its most popular and profitable sport utility vehicles, the Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon and Hummer H2.
The largest recall covers 1.5 million pickup trucks and S.U.V.'s with
defective second-row center seat belts. G.M. told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week that the belts fasten too high above a passenger's hips and increase the risk of injury in a crash, particularly to smaller passengers. In a letter to the safety administration, G.M. said the defect could expose passengers "to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury."
The recall was
voluntary, and G.M. said it knew of no injuries resulting from the defective belts. The safety administration is not investigating the matter.
G.M. planned to notify all owners of the affected vehicles by mail and to encourage them to have the seat belts repaired free at their dealerships. "It's a pretty simple fix," said Alan Adler, a spokesman for the company. "And we want people to come in to get them fixed."
