General Motors announced four separate recalls in the U.S. on Tuesday that include a combined total of roughly 2.42 million units. Most of the recalled models are comprised in the two significantly larger of the four actions. The complete list of the actions is below, as listed in the GM statement:

• 1,339,355 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia full-size crossovers from the 2009-2014 model years and Saturn Outlooks from 2009-2010 because front safety lap belt cables can fatigue and separate over time. In a crash, a separated cable could increase the risk of injury to front seat passengers.
   
• 1,075,102 of the previous generation 4-speed automatic transmission Chevrolet Malibu and from the 2004-2008 model years and Pontiac G6 from the 2005-2008 model years because of a shift cable that could wear out over time, resulting in mismatches of the gear position indicated by the shift lever.  
• 1,402 Cadillac Escalades and Escalade ESVs from the 2015 model year because an insufficiently heated plastic weld that attaches the passenger side air bag to the instrument panel assembly could result in a partial deployment of the air bag in the event of a crash.
• 58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD full-size pickups from the 2015 model year because retention clips attaching the generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and lead to a potential fire.

GM said there have not been any deaths associated with these recalls. The automaker added more details about the recalls in its statement, as well.

Starting with the action involving the full-size crossovers, GM has instructed dealers not to sell new or used versions of these vehicles until the fix is made. Explaining the issue, GM said: "In the full-size crossover recall, the flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle at the outside of the front outboard seating positions can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement into the seat."

Next up, GM shed more light on the Malibu and G6 actions: "The previous generation Malibu, Malibu Maxx and Pontiac G6 were added to an April 29 recall for certain 4-speed transmission Aura models from the 2007-2008 model year. The Malibu and G6 vehicles equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission have a condition in which the transmission shift cable may fracture. When the fracture occurs, the driver may not be able to select a different gear, remove the key from the ignition or place the transmission in park."

When looking at the 4-speed Malibu and G6 vehicle population, GM said it has knowledge of 18 crashes and one injury, adding that dealers will replace the shift cable and attachment bracket for free for the customer.

As for the 2015 Escalade and Escalade ESV action, GM stopped sale of these vehicles. Through overnight letters, called and emails, GM warned the 224 customers who had taken delivery of these vehicles against letting people sit in the passenger seat until the fix was made on the vehicle. The automaker said it has no knowledge of any crashes or injuries associated with these involved vehicles.

"The passenger airbag module is attached to a chute adhered to the backside of the instrument panel with an infrared weld that was not sufficiently heated. The issue has been corrected at the supplier and Escalade production is under way at the Arlington, Texas Assembly Plant," GM explained.

Lastly, the heavy-duty truck recall includes no known related crashes or injuries.

"In the heavy-duty truck recall, certain 2015 model year Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD model vehicles equipped with a 220 Amp Generator have a condition where the retention clips that attach a fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose, allowing the fuse block to move out of position and lead to a potential fire," GM said.

Hyundai Recall

In other recent recall news, Hyundai Motor Co. is recalling more than 140,000 certain model-year 2011-2014 Hyundai Tucson vehicles due to an air bag issue.

The recall affects 137,500 Tucsons in the United States and 3,500 in Puerto Rico.

According to the NHTSA recall statement, in the vehicles affected — which were manufactured between Jan. 3, 2011, and Dec. 23, 2013 — the air bag assembly installed in the steering wheel may come loose from its mounting.

"An air bag assembly that is not properly mounted may result in an increased risk of injury to the driver in the event of a crash," NHTSA reported.

The automaker says there have been no reports of accidents or injuries as a result of the defect.

The recall is expected to begin by the end of June, at which time Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the bolts that secure the driver's air bag assembly, free of charge.

Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at (800) 633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 118.
