General Motors Recalls Chevrolet Cruze Again to Fix Faulty Drive Shaft

Auto maker General Motors has recalled its executive sedan Cruze in India once again, this time over a faulty drive shaft.

This is probably the first recall in 2015 in India, but for Chevrolet and GM, this is the second recall within a short period of time. In December, GM recalled the cars to fix a problem with the PVC bracket that holds the wiring in place in the engine bay.

Now Cruze has been taken back to the workshops once again, to replace faulty drive shafts. While the number of units recalled has been kept under wraps, Motoroids says that the recall is limited to the cars manufactured between June 2009 and March 2011.

The company has reportedly started communicating with the owners of affected vehicles in the country and the replacement of the faulty part is being done free of cost at the company's dealerships
