Out of Control: Newer Chevy Impala Police Vehicles in Need of Repair

August 13, 2012 Updated Aug 13, 2012 at 2:14 PM EDT

UNDATED (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - General Motors recently announced that four years of Chevy Impala police vehicles are needing to be recalled before a serious crash happens.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website GM says that year 2008-2012 Chevrolet Impala’s need to have their front lower control arms replaced before they fracture. A broken control arm can result in the driver losing control of the car, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM doesn't know of any crashes or injuries from the problem. If a fracture occurs, a squeal or chirp is likely to come from the tire area at low speeds.

The cars were built at GM's factory in Oshawa, Ontario.
