Finger injury could occur with Maclaren strollers
What: Maclaren strollers sold at juvenile product and mass-merchandise retailers nationwide from 1999 through November 2009 for between $100 and $350.
Why: The stroller's hinge mechanism poses a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is unfolding/opening the stroller.
What to do: Consumers who have not installed the hinge covers should immediately contact Maclaren USA at hingecovers@maclaren-usa.com to receive a free repair kit. For more information, call Maclaren at 877-688-2326.
Wiper crank arm nut may be loose
What: 2011 Chevrolet Colorado; 2011 GMC Canyon
Why: Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the windshield-wiper motor crank arm nut may not be tightened to specification. When the wipers are operated with a build-up of snow or ice, or if the wipers are operated on a dry windshield, the nut could loosen. If there is insufficient loosening of the nut, the wipers could become inoperative. Driver visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do: Dealers will secure the wiper motor crank arm nut free of charge. For more information, visit gmownercenter.com
