Now even Hummers are Not Safe Enough : GM Recalls over 162,000 H3 Hummers

Hummer H3

In a slew of recalls recently, Hummer joins the brigade with its H3 SUV. Hummer brand, which was shut down by GM earlier this year, is the latest victim of the recall bug with 162,129 Hummer H3 being recalled.

The models produced during the year 2006 – 2010 have a potential defect in the hood that could cause it to detach while being driven. Some of the H3′s from these model years have integral clip-tabs on the hood’s louver that may fracture. In these cases, the hood louver could rattle against the hood and come loose. Gone unaddressed, more clips could fracture and the hood could come free while the vehicle is in motion.

The detachment of the hood during motion may be a dangerous to other vehicles on the road and company recommends its customers to get it fixed as early as possible.

The cars can be taken to the dealers who will use an adhesive to secure the hood louver to the hood, free of charge.
