Four more GM safety recall involves half a million vehicles, 57,000 in Canada

GM has issued four other recalls today involving 500,000 vehicles, 57,000 in Canada. This time around the affected models are 467,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 and 2015 model years, the 2015 Sierra Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, and the 2015 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL. More than 53,000 of these recalled vehicles were said to be sold in Canada. 

 GM says the transmission on recalled vehicle may electronically switch into neutral on its own. "If this occurs while a vehicle is in motion, no power will go to the wheels." Needless to say, this is a cause for great concern. GM's adds that if the vehicle is stopped or parked, it may roll away if the parking brake is not set. The automaker says it knows of no crashes or injuries related to the issue. This latest wave of recalls add up to 48t announced this year alone. Overall, the recalls affect more than 20 million vehicles of various model years, which is more than the number of cars GM sold in the U.S. in all of 2013.
