It is getting hard to look at any vehicle these days without seeing the potential for danger. The San Diego car accident involving a Lexus first blew the lid off of years of hidden problems in Toyota vehicles. Now, increased scrutiny of Toyota is bleeding over into other car lines, with General Motor's Hummer H3 model becoming the latest victim of recall.

While the problem was nowhere near as bad as those facing Toyota, GM still took a proactive stance on Wednesday, recalling more than 160,000 Hummer H3 models due to problems with the vehicles' hood louver (fake vent). Recently, complaints had come in regarding the piece's propensity to become detached during use on the road.

Not only dangerous for those driving Hummer H3s, the hood vents could also fly into other cars, causing drivers to swerve or break - potentially leading to a car accident. The recall applies to vehicles produced between 2006 and 2010.
