GM recalls 194,107 Buicks to fix headlight defect
Shanghai General Motors is recalling 194,107 locally made Buick vehicles to fix a headlight defect that does not allow motorists to turn off their high beams.
Shanghai GM, the joint venture between General Motors and Chinese automaker SAIC Motor Corp., will recall the Buick Excelle GT cars, China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement posted on its Web site.
The watchdog agency said it will closely monitor the recall, which applies to vehicles made between October 2009 to July 2012.
A China-based GM spokeswoman confirmed the recall and said the incident is not part of the automaker's recent global recalls.
The No. 1 U.S. automaker is grappling with a series of safety problems that have prompted the recall of 20 million cars, and CEO Mary Barra has said more recalls are possible.
