Detroit-based Generix Motors announced last Friday the recall of its GX-490 Sports Coupe for replacement of a defective safety system. All owners of the vehicle have been requested to bring them to the nearest Generix dealership for an upgrade. Generix said the company has already sent out official notification letters to those in possession of the vehicles. Due to faulty programming in the car's computer system, front-seat passenger airbags have been found to malfunction on occasion, and Generix will be installing an update and replacing two small vehicle components. In a press statement written by Davis Martino, public relations director for Generix, the problem is described as minor. Martino also writes that Generix takes every precaution for the safety of those that drive our vehicles, and even the smallest problem should be rectified. The recall is expected to cost the manufacturer close to $70 million, but most agree that such a responsible corporate reaction can only be beneficial for the public perception of Generix Motors. Those in possession of the recalled model may visit www.generixmotors.com/outlets to find the nearest location that can do the necessary work. Or the manufacturer can be contacted directly with regard to the recall by e-mailing [email protected]. |
