DETROIT, April 25 (UPI) -- General Motors Corp. voluntarily recalled more than 2 million SUVs and pickups in six actions, including 1.5 million full-size SUVs to fix seat belts.
The lap portion of the second-row center occupant seat belt in the big SUVs could be difficult to properly position to minimize risk of abdominal injury.
Dealers will repair safety belts on nearly 1.5 million 2003-2005 Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Hummer sport-utility and crew cab pickup trucks at no charge.
"Recalling these vehicles to provide improved routing of the belt is an important precautionary measure," said Bob Lange, executive director of structure and safety integration.
Other recalls involve more than 330,000 2000-2001 model sport-utility vehicles that may have overheating fuel pump wires that could lead to engine stalling, failure to start, a possible fuel leak or inaccurate fuel level readings.
Some 142,000 pickups with manual transmissions may a faulty parking brake and 69,000 Buicks may have a bent clip that secures a brake pushrod.
More than 39,000 2004 Buick Rendezvous and Pontiac Aztek SUVs may stall due to a bad ignition relay. A rear-center seat belt reinforcement plate will be intalled on 22,115 Saturn L Series Wagons.
