Saturn Vue SUV Fails in Rollover Tests

General Motors Corp. faces a U.S. safety probe and a potential recall of 227,303 Saturn Vue sport utility vehicles because the rear suspension collapsed during federal rollover tests.

The review covers 2002 through 2004 models, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

The suspension failure in both four- and two-wheel-drive 2004 Vues was the first in rollover driving tests added this year. The left rear wheel collapsed under the vehicle, NHTSA said.

A GM spokesman said he was unaware of any problems with the Vue suspension and that the automaker was cooperating with the agency.
