General Motors Announces 3 New Recalls Affecting 1.54 Million Vehicles, Will Cost Automaker $300 Million
Sponsored Links
Following the ignition switch recall, General Motors’ CEO Mary Barra requested a comprehensive internal safety review, which resulted in three separate recalls involving U.S. production and sales of roughly 1.54 million vehicles. Affected vehicles include:
- 303,000 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans from the 2009-2014 model years with gross vehicle weight under 10,000 pounds. More details on this recall here.
- 63,900 Cadillac XTS full-size sedans from the 2013 and 2014 model years. More details on this recall here.
- 1.18 million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia CUVs from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from the 2009-2013 model years, and Saturn Outlook from the 2008-2010 model years. More details on this recall here.
“I asked our team to redouble our efforts on our pending product reviews, bring them forward and resolve them quickly,” said Barra. “That is what today’s GM is all about.”
As a result of the recall, GM expects to take a charge of approximately $300 million in the first quarter, mostly for the cost associated in repairing the safety actions announced today as well as the previously-announced ignition switch recall, for which the automaker is currently under investigation by the NHTSA.
“Today’s announcement underscores the focus we’re putting on the safety and peace of mind of our customers. We are conducting an intense review of our internal processes and will have more developments to announce as we move forward,” Barra said.

Good for GM! Way to take precautionary measures! I just told my aunt with the Enclave about this. Does anyone think that this will affect Theta’s?
Since these are all different, who knows. Maybe the safety reviews will dig something up for them as well.
No
Hopefully not! I am driving down to Galveston, Texas in a 2011 Terrain SLE-2 AWD 2.4L from Eden Prairie, Minnesota on the 27th for a Princess Caribbean cruise! My 2001 Grand Prix’s transaxle just got fucked up and my moms Bravada Final 500 is in dire need of a new differential. The last thing I need is anything happening to my Bonneville GXP!
No one sweats the details like GM…?
Right? Years n years later after countless lives have been lost to corp BS…!
Here’s what will keep customers happy with the company
Good for GM

2010 Traverse here: major issues since new. Wiring harness faulty for door locks, mirror heaters; front end issues, steering pump issues; water pump issues; timing chain replaced; tie rods, upper and lower in the first year; brakes all around in first year; paint dis-coloring; and today….the drive shaft fell out, 5 of six bolts missing and no thread damage, means they spun off over time! Safety issues, you betcha!
Wow you should have got the Enclave. Only issue I have in 2 years is the airbag light come on. And they are recalling that. And my last vehicle was a 2010 and I never had any issues.
Wait, issues you posted are common parts on my enclave. You really got a bad one.
I did get a bad one…what did GM do in the first year….offer me a $2000 incentive towards trade for a new vehicle…and only offered me market value on mine! so I lose, they gain! right. I have had 16 rental vehicles, 23 visits to the GM shop in the first 3 years. I still cant get my head around how is it possible that 5 of 6 bolts are missing clean!? No thread damage, no sign of lock tight on the threads…keep your eyes open for this recall!
Did your Enclave have paint issues…what I mean is after a snow or rain storm, I would get these little reddish flecks on my paint all over the body….if I buff them, it comes out. They tried to tell me it’s the brake dust! They even put on Ceramic pads, and now I have yellow/red stains on my rims! I can’t win with GM.
I have a 2010 traverse 3.6 and am getting codes p0008 and p0017 so how do I get it fix so is there any way to have gm replace it and it as 127000 miles on it
I have a 2011 GMC Acadia and have had nothing but problems with it since we bought it. Had to replace motor at 82,000 miles cats and o2 sensors. Now at 103,000 miles my timing chain needs replaced. I love my Acadia but it is a lemon and costing me sooooooo much money. I wish they would do a recall on timing chains since I see it has been a common problem in these cars. I will never own a GMC again
I second the timing chain complaints. My 2012 Acadia needs a third set and I’m not even to 100k yet. The dealerships are so sick of these engines that the labor price of a new chain has doubled!
I have a 2010 Chevy Traverse says timing chain is out , had to replace throttle body already several times , mechanics want 3000 bucks to fix timing chain , We have 6 kids and it’s suppose to be our reliable vehicle it’s ridiculous it should be recalled and fixed!!!!! How am I suppose to afford to fix this crap!! It should be recalled and fixed!

Need new car my 2010 Buick enclave junk
My 2010 Buick Enclave has timing chain problem code P0008 gong to cost $4500 or more to get replaced.
I need help?
The timing chains are awful, my first was 60k the second 25k. To increase the time for your chain you might try the following:
1. Change the oil at 20% not at 0% and use the right stuff. The engine is very touchy about this.
2. Use a heater in cold weather starting. Cold starts are when mine stretched.
Code P0008 is what comes up on my 2010 buick Enclave $4500 worth of work.
Will GM help with this or not ?
Nope.
Please come get my Buick Enclave and fix it!
Do you have a car to give me in place of my 2010 Buick Enclave to get me back and forth to work ?
Please help me !
Shelia, This site is for GM Owners to discuss their cars and issues. I do not believe anyone here works for GM or can help you with your car. We are just stuck with the same issues you have.
Doesn’t the recall include 2nd owner or not.
2010 Chevy traverse bad timing chain , what is the link to gm about getting it replaced thanks . Houston Tx
I have a 2011 Traverse bought it from a second owner and it was in the shop more than i could drive it, i had it for only a month before i had to take to a mechanic, cause it stalled out on me the ignition locked up i was told it was the camshaft spent 500 to replace both of them than, so the dealership said the computer system had to reset, timing was what the computer was reading but it ended up being the engine that needs to be replaced $8,000, Thanks GM.
