Do you trust car companies to catch safety defects before they reach drivers?

General Motors issued two recalls covering 80,095 vehicles, including more than 67,000 Cadillac and Blazer vehicles over a brake system control module defect and more than 12,000 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles over a loose steering gear assembly nut.

Why it matters

Owners of affected Cadillac, Blazer, Express, and Savana vehicles across the United States face a potential loss of braking or steering-component risk that GM is addressing through free dealer repairs. The recalls matter for household vehicle budgeting and safety because GM reported 20 minor accidents involving the brake-related Cadillac and Blazer vehicles.

The Cadillac and Blazer recall covers more than 67,000 vehicles, while the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana recall covers more than 12,000 vehicles. GM estimates only 1% of the Express and Savana vehicles are affected by the loose steering gear nut.
