GM in China recalls Cadillac SUVs and Chevrolet Camaros to replace defective seat bolts

BEIJING, China – General Motors Co. and its main Chinese partner are recalling nearly 20,000 imported Cadillac SRX sport utility vehicles and Chevrolet Camaros to replace defective seat bolts.

GM said Friday the defect might allow seats to descend to their lowest position, possibly causing a safety hazard. The company did not say how many of each type of vehicle were being recalled. In total it is recalling 19,836 vehicles.

This is GM’s third recall in China in 14 months. In December, the company and its main Chinese partner recalled 1.5 million vehicles to replace a fuel pump bracket.

In May 2013, they recalled imported SRX sport utility vehicles to adjust nuts on wheels.
