(July 2, 2011) General Motors is recalling more than 10,000 trucks and SUVs worldwide to address two problems. GM said it is recalling 9,215 model year 2011 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles that could roll away when shifted into park, because of a faulty part produced in China.

GM dealers will install new automatic transmission adjustment clips. The problem was discovered when a vehicle at a GM assembly plant wouldn't start. The recall includes 6,700 vehicles sold in the United States.

GM will notify owners July 19. Neither involves any crashes. GM said it has had two warranty reports related to the issue.

In the second issue, GM is recalling 891 SUVs and trucks for steering problems, including 739 in the U.S. The intermediate steering shaft bolts may not have been properly tightened and it could result in a loss of steering.

Dealers will inspect the bolts to make sure they are properly tightened. GM will mail letters to owners July 13.

The recall includes some 2011 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Sierra vehicles.
