All Chevy Cruze in the US under RECALL!

**tidus1203** · May 6th, 2011 05:27 PM

According to the New York Times, “General Motors is recalling all of its 2011 Chevrolet sedans to check for a steering problem as well as a condition in which an automatic transmission that appears to be in Park may still be in gear, increasing the chance of a roll-away accident.” The recall is voluntary according to the reports as GM says there have been no crashes or injuries associated with the issue and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received no complaints. The NHTSA hasn’t released official recall data on the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, however, you can contact them via www.safecar.gov or you can contact Chevrolet via www.gmownercenter.com.

I wonder if the local version of the Cruze would be affected by the recall?

tsk tsk hindi kinaya ng powers ng HARI owner ang kamalasan ng chevy. kung yun Hyundai napalago nya, eh eto sa US pa.

General Motors Co is recalling 154,112 of its top-selling Chevrolet Cruze compact cars to check that the steering shaft was properly installed, the automaker said on Wednesday.
These cars represent all of the Cruze cars built at its plant in Lordstown, Ohio,

GM said it would file documents on the Cruze recall with U.S. federal safety regulators on Thursday, and that it would mail notices to customers beginning next week.
The inspection at Chevy dealerships will take about an hour, GM said.
The fix requires no parts and is a matter of realigning the steering shaft or shifting links, GM said.
Changes at the plant in Lordstown involve different tools used by workers and a change in procedure, GM said.

Ilan ba sa Cruze owners dito bumili ng Cruze na assembled sa Lordstown, Ohio?

But also you have to remember the BLUEPRINTS (the backbone) of the car are the same whether its from Korea or Ohio... Eh diba nga pinagyayabang nila na GLOBAL CAR daw ang Cruze. So the problem can also be global... So questions will linger...

That's what you get for buying a rebadged Daewoo Lancetti.

Buti pa bumili ka na lang ng Hyundai at least you get a proper Korean car and not a Korean-American bastard of a car. :hysterical:

American cars are improving daw, o? Ahahaha those dumbass fatass Yanks will never match the superiority of German or Japanese engineering.

Care for Japan or Germany to make weaponry again?

Nothing to do with blueprints. The reports are pretty clear that the faults are caused by an error in their assembly process. Most likely human error...

Now if it were like the Ford Pinto bursting into flames when bumped from behind... then that clearly is a design flaw.

A design flaw means that no matter what material you use, or manufacturing process, or assembly process the part fails.

A manufacturing flaw means, the design is good, but the error can be in the mix of the alloy, the tolerances of the molds, etc. which causes the unit to fail.

An assembly error can be caused by a wrongly calibrated robot, a wrongly prepped parts bin, an assembler's manual error, etc. The parts can be good, the design can be good. But that is all negated by some error in putting it together.
