GM Announces 180,000 Chevrolet HHR Recall

General Motors has announced the recall of 181,516 units of the HHR model due to a head injury risk. The problem occurs only with vehicles not equipped with the optional head curtain side air bags.

GM will install an energy-absorbing plastic piece to the headliner trim on all affected models. The recall is expected to start next month.

The HHR is a retro-styled estate launched in 2006. It is available with a choice of three petrol engines, a 149bhp 2.2-litre unit, a 172bhp 2.4-litre engine and the topping 260bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre unit.
