GM IN S KOREA TO RECALL 14,000 CARS

GM Korea Co., the local unit of U.S. automaker General Motors Co., is recalling over 14,000 cars sold here for a defective front drive shaft that can separate from the front right wheel while on the road, the transportation ministry said Monday.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the vehicles’ front right axle shaft may “separate while driving on a curved road, possibly creating a condition where the power is not properly delivered to the wheel.”
The recall affects three vehicle models of a wide range of model years, including 5,920 Chevrolet Cruze compact passenger cars produced between July 24, 2008, and Dec. 30, 2010.

Another 8,521 units of the Alpheon luxury passenger vehicles produced between Aug. 13, 2010, and Feb. 23, 2011, are subject to the recall, plus 23 units of the Chevrolet Orlando manufactured between Dec. 13 and Dec. 29 of 2010.
