Cadillac Recalls 4,000 SRX Crossovers Due To Power Steering Flaw

General Motors is recalling nearly 4,000 units of its SRX crossover due to power steering problems that could lead to engine fires.

The effected model year 2010 vehicles were built in December 2009. Of the 4,000 units recalled, about 300 were exported to China, with the remainder remaining in the United States.

This is the second time that the second-generation Cadillac SRX has been recalled. Back in June, GM recalled 547 units of the crossover equipped with the 2.8 liter turbocharged engine due to owner stupidity the inability of the engine to operate on regular fuel without internal damage.
