At Jones & Swanson, we try to keep our followers up to date on the most recent automobile recalls due to the dangers associated with being unaware that your vehicle is being recalled. In the past we have been contacted by Georgians that were unaware of a recall until after it caused a crash. Each car crash runs the risk of injury to passengers and others on surrounding roadways, so being educated about Georgia automobile recalls may be the first step in preventing a serious injury to yourself or others.
One of the most popular vehicle manufacturers, General Motors, recently announced that many Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras are being recalled. The 2014 model year trucks that are affected have either a 4.3 or 5.3 Liter engine. The recall is due to a potential engine fire hazard as a result of exhaust components overheating while the truck idles in cold weather. Metro-Atlanta has experienced frigid temperatures lately, so this potential automobile defect could affect many around the area. If you or someone you know may be affected by this automobile recall, contact Chevrolet or GMC immediately to have the issue addressed for free.
In addition to this truck recall, Newmar Corporation recently announced that many motorhomes may experience castle nuts within the steering column to become loose. If this were to happen, the driver could lose control of steering capabilities, leading to a wreck. The model year affected is 2013-2014 and the manufacture date on these recalled motorhomes extends from October 2012 until June 2013. If you believe your motorhome may be affected by this recall, call Newmar at 1-800-731-8300 to get a free replacement part installed on your vehicle.
