GM recalls defective Cadillacs in China

Shanghai GM will recall 2,653 imported Cadillac SRX vehicles as their wheel nuts may become loose and pose a safety hazard, China's consumer quality watchdog said Friday.

As of Friday, the company will recall Cadillac sport utility vehicles (SUVs) manufactured between Sept. 3, 2012 and March 7, 2013, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement.

The wheel nuts have not been installed correctly, which may cause them to become loose, the statement said.

The bolts may break after continued use and pose a safety hazard, it said.

To fix the problem, the company will readjust the wheel nuts on the vehicles, the administration said.
