GM recalls 163k Hummer H3 models for hood issue

GM recalls 163k Hummer H3 models for hood issue

05 May 2010

Filed under: SUV , Truck , Recalls , GM , Hummer Hummer H3T - Click above for high-res image gallery General Motors has just announced a sizeable recall on Hummer H3 models manufactured between 2006 and 2010. According to Consumer Reports , the vehicles have defective hood louvers that could come loose over time and detach from the vehicle while driving. The tabs that hold the louvers in place have been found to break, causing vibration that can lead to total separation. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is warning H3 owners to be on the lookout for any vibration of the louver assembly, as that may be an indicator that a failure is likely. A total of 162,000 Hummers are covered under the recall, and General Motors says that technicians will apply an adhesive in order to keep the louvers from coming loose at no cost. Owners may contact Hummer at 800-732-5493 or visit the NHTSA recall site for more information.

Report: Senator to investigate GM’s handling of Hummer deal

Report: Senator to investigate GM’s handling of Hummer deal

13 April 2010

Filed under: SUV , Truck , Government/Legal , Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , Hummer , Off-Road General Motors has already begun turning the lights off at its Hummer brand, though that may be no fault of multiple potential buyers. We're not just talking interested parties from China here, either. According to brand enthusiast website HummerGuy, several American-based companies have expressed viable interest in snapping up the SUV-slinging manufacturer over the past few months. Even more surprisingly, all of the potential offers have reportedly fallen on deaf ears. Both Raser Technologies and Electric Motors Corporation have supposedly made The General offers worth considering , and GM has left them unanswered. These whispers haven't just been crawling around the web - they've evidently made their way all the way to Illinois Senator Roland Burris (above), who has promised to look into the matter himself. While we'd be thoroughly surprised if such an investigation had any repercussions, we have to wonder why GM would say no both of the EV builders unless it thinks it can make more money winding down the brand by selling off tooling and manufacturing rights, or perhaps just avoiding bureaucratic headaches. Some experts believe GM might be worried about competition from future extended-range EVs, but we have a hard time imagining one of the world's biggest manufacturers losing sleep over a couple of startups. Either way, as with Saab before it, there remains a sliver of hope for the brand, but we certainly wouldn't bet on another eleventh-hour miracle.

One more bidder reported left for Hummer, but is GM listening?

One more bidder reported left for Hummer, but is GM listening?

08 April 2010

Filed under: Hybrid , SUV , Truck , Plants/Manufacturing , GM , Hummer , Off-Road Sure enough, someone out there still wants Hummer . According to a report by The Car Connection , Raser Technologies has put multiple bids in for the General Motors Earth-squishing trucks - both before and after the failed bid from China's Sichuan-Tengzhong. Raser Technologies made a name for itself by converting an H3 into a plug-in hybrid not too long ago, and if the company managed to gain control of the future of the Hummer brand, you could bet your biscuits it wouldn't be too long before a hybrid truck made its way into showrooms. Raser Technologies already has a prototype extended-range EV platform - the same tech fitted into the electrified H3 . According to the company, the truck can cruise up to 40 miles on electric-only power, and should be capable of close to 100 mpg by the time everything's said and done. There's some speculation that GM is shy about handing Hummer over to Raser because of the potential threat to Detroit's own extended-range EV program, though we find that one tough to swallow. For now, it looks like a dead end for Hummer. With GM already switching off the lights and sallying forth with the wind down, it doesn't look good for the brand, but as we learned with Saab, there's always hope. We'll keep you posted on the next on again/off again deal.

Report: Last-ditch sale effort for Hummer post wind-down announcement fading

Report: Last-ditch sale effort for Hummer post wind-down announcement fading

06 April 2010

Filed under: SUV , Truck , Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , GM , Hummer It's getting tough for even the most ardent supporters of the Hummer brand to continue to keep hope alive. Reports the aficionados at HummerGuy.net: " While many of us were hoping for a last-minute miracle to save the Hummer brand, signs from Detroit are indicating that Hummer production will soon cease indefinitely. " It appears as if General Motors has resigned itself to winding the brand down and letting it die a slow, agonizing death. The automaker says that it's no longer considering offers for the brand and dedicated Hummer staff are reportedly be assigned to serve elsewhere. Oh, and about that "Save Hummer" summit that's planned for April 11th near Chicago? GM, though it is aware of the rally, has no plans to send representation. That sound that you hear? That's just the tolling of Hummer's death knell. Thanks for the tip, Brian!
