GM Recalls 135,400 Buick Encore GX and Chevrolet Trailblazer SUVs

General Motors is recalling 135,400 subcompact SUVs due to a potential problem with the jack. The plastic jack can break if not properly installed by owners wanting to lift their vehicle.

The risk of breakage arises when the jack is not positioned exactly as outlined in the owner's manual. If it breaks while the weight of the vehicle is resting on it, this obviously poses a danger to anyone around.

The recall affected the Buick Encore GX and the Chevrolet Trailblazer, both of which were introduced last year.
