Hummer recalls 198,000 H3s worldwide to fix hood
General Motors announced recently that it is recalling all Hummer H3s produced since the 2006 model year to fix a portion of the hood that can detach during driving. (D. Stumpf, AP Auto, 5/5).
The recall is voluntary by the automaker after two complaints in the U.S. and three in Japan, and affects nearly 165,000 Hummer H3s and H3Ts in the U.S. A Hummer spokesman says, “a device on the hood called a hood louver (LOO-ver) can come loose and possibly detach while driving.” The faulty device helped to cool the engine on older models but is purely decorative on the newer H3.
As a automobile accident attorney in Chicago, I encourage all consumers to stay on top of auto recalls and act quickly if your vehicle is affected to avoid needless injuries.
