General Motors is issuing a recall for 90,081 vehicles related to a transmission problem that can cause the front wheels to lock up, boosting the risk of a crash.
Which GM vehicles are being recalled?
Why you should care:
The recall covers 2019-2020 Cadillac CT6, 2020-2021 CT4, CT5, and 2020-2022 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles with a 10-speed transmission.
