General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have announced the recall of 181,516 2006-2008 model year HHRs. The recall is due to new findings that discovered some HHR models were not up to Federal crash standards.
HHR models not equipped with optional roof rail airbags were found to not meet Federal standards, and could cause head injuries in certain types of crashes.
Starting in March, Chevrolet dealers will begin installing a new energy-absorbing plastic piece to the headliner trim to fix the defect.
