WASHINGTON, D.C. -

Three more recalls have come out from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, mostly for 2012 models.

The largest of the three is the recall by General Motors of 1,798 vans — the 2012 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana manufactured between June 2 and Oct. 17.

NHTSA indicated that the second stage of the dual-stage air bag will not inflate in a severe frontal impact on these vans. Accordingly, the air bags fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety No. 208, “occupant crash protection.”

Officials added that an improperly deployed air bag will increase the risk of injury to the occupant.

As a result, GM intends to notify owners this month as part of recall No. 11302. The OEM instructed franchised dealers to install a new front passenger air bag free of charges.

In the meantime, owners can contact GMC at (800) 462-8782 or Chevrolet at (800) 222-1020.

Cadillac Recall

In another campaign associated with a GM vehicle, NHTSA indicated the automaker is asking 674 owners of the Cadillac CTS from the 2012 model year to bring the vehicle to a franchised dealer.

Notification began earlier this month about the vehicles manufactured between Oct. 21 and Oct. 26. Federal officials said the units maybe have a condition in which the power vacuum brake boost pushrod retention nut may not be torque to the proper specification.

If the nut is not torqued to the proper specification, NHTSA thinks the nut could loosen and allow the pushrod to separate from the brake pedal, potentially resulting in a loss of ability to brake the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

Franchised dealers have been told to inspect this nut and if necessary, torque the nut to the proper specification.

NHTSA noted that potentially effected owners also can reach Cadillac at (800) 458-8006.

Nissan and Infiniti Recall

The last of the three recent recalls involves the 2011 Nissan 370Z and the Infiniti G37 Coupe from the 2011 and 2012 model years.

NHTSA explained that a total of 1,788 units manufactured between July 2 and Aug. 29 have a programming error that results in the power window switch controller being made out of specification.

Federal officials determined the threshold for auto-reverse activation is higher than the Nissan specification. They contend that should a body part become trapped by a closing window, a pinch injury may result.

Nissan is already contacting owners, asking them to bring their units in for repair beginning after Nov. 28. NHTSA said the OEM has told its franchised dealers to replace the power window switches with new ones for free.

Potentially effected owners can contact Nissan at (800) 647-7261 or Infiniti at (800) 662-6200.
