GM announces van recall
General Motors is recalling 5,000 heavy-duty vans due to a risk of engine fire.
The safety recall, announced Friday, involves Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana passenger and cargo vans. It calls for a halt in the production and sale of the trucks "until a fix for a suspected faulty alternator can be determined."
"Retail and fleet customers who purchased these vans, which were built in February and March this year, are being urged to stop driving the vans, park them outside away from buildings and other vehicles and, if possible, disconnect both battery cables," a statement from GM said.
"Relatively few" of the vans were "in retail customer possession," the automaker said.
"About 1,300 are in rental and other fleets, and a Stop Sale order was issued Friday, preventing the fleet-owned vans from being rented or those on dealer lots from being sold. Others are being held at dealerships or in ports before being exported."
GM spokesman Alan Adler said there have been no accidents or injuries reported in connection with the recalled vans.

Sounds like they present a fire hazzard,if they have to be parked away from buildings and the battery cables should be disconnected.
So where ia the out-source company that made the alternators? China, perhaps.
It's funny thow this article is so brief but leaves you "dumbfoundedly" hanging with suspicion with the seemingly seriousness of the matter... Park vehicle away from other vehicles or buildings? Disconnect battery?.... Sounds like a job for a bomd disposal expert!
WOW, I guess Obama and the UAW forgot to send their check to you this week..
surprised you reported this!
Now that is the way to handle a recall, unlike Toyota trying to hide it or disclaim it. Way to go GM
That's it! I want hearings into why these alternators were even put on the vans! GM vans could kill you - stop their sale NOW! Oh, wait - the government owns GM. I forgot. Silly me. Hearings - yeah, that's gonna happen.
This is the second GM recall this month. When is the congressional inquiry begin?
It's a conspiracy by Toyota dealers to make their cars look safe again $$
The good news...nearly all of the vans in question have been located on the dealers lots.
When Toyota moved their manufacturing here and some parts of Toyota in Japan made vehicle came from U.S ,it has been getting a lot of recalls.
I don't believe it. The press is actually mentioning that other car makes than Toyota have safety defects. Who would have believe that after the last couple of weeks.
Matter of fact, all car makers have problems.
gm is horrible anyways i cant stand my tax money went to them, that makes me sick
everybody has recalls
Would somebody mind telling me what thie story has to do with politics? Seems to me this is a story about a company being responsible and upfront about a problem. The comparison to Toyota is valid, and makes GM look like a responsible organization where Toyota wasn't.
Sounds like some employee where the alternators are made, may of crossed some wires. This could cause overheating causing a fire. Not GM's fault. Good thing the supplier is responsible for this recall.
