US: GM adds Aveo to list of car recalls

General Motors (GM) is adding 218 000 sub-compact cars to its growing list of recalled vehicles. The new recall covers certain Chevrolet Aveo cars from the 2004 through 2008 model years. GM said the daytime running light module in the dashboard centre stack could overheat, melt and cause fires. The recall, posted yesterday on a US government website, is GM’s 30th this year. It brings the total number of vehicles recalled by the company since January to 13.8 million. Recall documents did not say if the problem had caused any fires or injuries. – Sapa-AP
