GM is just starting to get their footing in the industrey back but that doesn’t mean they are prone to production problems. Their latest recall deals with 185,903 2004-2009 trucks including the Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon, Isuzu I-280, Isuzu I-290, Isuzi I-350, and the Isuzu I-370.

This particular recall concerns the vehicle’s brake-lamp switch that, due to a production error, could possibly malfunction which means they either won’t work, or will stay lit while the car is on. This is a safety hazard because drivers behind a vehicle with a malfunctioning brake-lamp don’t know when the car is slowing down increasing the probability of a crash.

There are different ways to make your car stand out and as far as this Chevrolet Captiva is concerned, it is all about being enshrined with crystals. The crystalized Chevrolet Captiva was recently unveiled at the 30th Bangkok International Motor Show.

The Swarovski elements has been applied one-by-one by BlingMyThing’s skilled craftsman in over 300 hours, decorating almost every outer chrome part with diamond-like “Crystal” color while adding some glamorous accent on the gold Chevrolet logo with “Light Colorado Topaz” CRYSTALLIZED TM – Swarovski Elements. The interior of the vehicle, on the other hand, has been mostly crystallized with Black Diamond and the Captiva LTZ 2009 model comes with a full list of standard options including a seven-inch touchscreen on the console with a navigator system incorporating air conditioning and audio controls, luxury beige colored leather, 18-inch alloy wheels with Dunlop sports tires and a chromium front grill.

The car can further be personalized in a color of your choice from over 60 different stunning colours. The complete customization including crystals on the custom wheels is priced at 1 million Baht, i.e. approx. $28,137.
