General Motors' European division, Opel, said Wednesday it had recalled nearly 34,000 of its new Corsa small-car model so as to fix a steering defect.
A spokesman at the Opel office in Ruesselsheim said the problem had arisen with the lower wishbone holding the front wheels of the new-model Corsa introduced at the start of October.
Opel had been writing to owners for the past two weeks, asking them to have the cars checked at franchised repair shops.
Those with a faulty weld in the wishbone would receive a replacement part. Opel said it discovered the problem through its own quality tests.

But still breaking news nonetheless.
