Recalls for commercial vehicles are far less frequent than those for passenger cars, because such vehicles are usually less-innovative than their people-carrying counterparts, and therefor many proven parts are carried over from previous generations, for improved reliability.
However, they do occur, and GM has just announced a small-scale recall for the Chevrolet Express and the GMC Savana, due to fears of the vehicles rolling away, as it is possible to take the key out of the ignition, without the vehicle being in 'park'.
A total of 980 units are affected, and they will be brought back to GM dealerships, where the ignition cylinder and keys will be replaced free of charge. We don`t know if the parts were faulty to begin with, or were the subject of excessive wear, but they require replacement.
The affected Chevy-branded vans were built between November and December of last year, while the GMC version with the fault was only built for a week in November. The recall begins on January 23 and owners of the affected vehicles will be notified in due time.
