GM Stops Sales Of Nearly 60,000 SUVs For Wrong Mileage Stickers
General Motors Co. announced Friday it had stopped temporarily the sales of about 59,823 vehicles — the 2016 models of GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse SUVs — because the window labels on those cars overstated the fuel economy of the vehicles. There is no indication that GM put the incorrect labels on vehicles deliberately.
The automaker first informed its dealers about the “inadvertent error” on Wednesday through a memo which said the window stickers on the listed models mentioned their fuel economy “as 1-2 MPG [miles per gallon] higher than it should have been.”
