It isn't a recall at the moment, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reportedly looking into more than six million <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm">General Motors</a> pickups and SUVs over brake line corrosion concerns. According to <em>The Detroit News</em>, the models in question date from 1999 to 2003, and they have been noted in 110 complaints and three alleged crashes due to a loss of braking performance. In 37 of those cases, inspecting dealers have confirmed brake line failures.<br />
<br />
GM is apparently cooperating with NHTSA's investigation, and while 110 reported issues is a tiny fraction of 6.2 million, if you have one of the vehicles in question don't be afraid to have it looked at. <br />
