The cars were assembled in Vietnam between July 1, 2015 and April 20, 2016. The error, according to GM, could cause the ball joint to crack during use leaving drivers unable to control the direction of the car.
The check and replacement of the ball joint will last 4.2 hours per car. GM Vietnam will bear all the associated costs. The recall is going to be carried out at all GM Vietnam official dealerships from August 15, 2016 till February 15, 2017.
In March, GM Vietnam recalled 565 Aveo Klasn1 FYU and AVEO Klas SN4/446 models produced between July 27 and December 4, 2015. According to GM, the error was also with the ball joint, but at the time the check and replacement took only two hours. The recall ended recently in September 2016.
GM Vietnam assembles vehicles at its Hanoi facility. Its vehicles are sold through 18 Chevrolet dealerships across the country. It also exports about 500 vehicles, making it the first automaker in Vietnam whose products are sold outside the country.
