The recall reportedly involves Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari minivans from the 2001 and 2002 model years – the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said a circuit problem could cause the lights to stop working, which could lead to a crash.


NHTSA also told AP that GM is recalling 35,777 of its 2005 Pontiac G6 sedans because the owner’s manual doesn’t say there is a child restraint anchor in the middle of the back seat – NHTSA said owners could have difficulty installing child seats if they aren’t aware of the anchor.


The Associated Press report said GM would mail information about the child seat anchors to G6 owners this month.
