Buick SUVs recalled over weak liftgates

Xinhua, July 10, 2015 Adjust font size:

Shanghai General Motors Co. Ltd. is planning to recall 23,309 imported Buick Enclave SUVs due to defective liftgates that may drop suddenly and hurt people nearby.

The vehicles in question were produced between August 2008 and February 2012, according to a statement released by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on Friday.

Shanghai General Motors will examine the struts from Oct. 1. Endi
