Chevrolet's Aveo Adds to General Motors' Heap of Safety Recalls
The Associated Press reports that General Motors is recalling 32,301 of its new Chevrolet Aveos due to a new seat belt that can become unusable. This follows a safety recall of 199,793 Buicks earlier this month and safety recalls of 7.9 million in the first six months of this year. The following table gives year-to-date recalls through July 2, 2004, for General Motors, and for Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota, the latter three for comparison.
