General Motors is recalling more than 13,000 crossover vehicles in Canada to fix seatbelts but Canadian Honda owners have been spared another recall by that company.

General Motors Co. is recalling more than 13,000 crossover vehicles in Canada to fix seatbelts that could fail in a crash, while Canadian Honda owners have been spared another recall issued by that company.

The Canadian recall of Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX models from 2011 is part of a larger one in the U.S. that includes about 100,000 vehicles.

The automaker said the seatbelt buckle anchor for the driver and front passenger could break apart in a crash, but said no crashes or injuries have been reported.

The company said it discovered the problem during testing in September.

Canadian customers will receive a letter on or before Jan 18. to notify them about bringing their car to their dealer for free repairs.

Meanwhile, Canadians are not affected by a recall issued by Honda on Friday.

The company recalled about 35,000 Passport SUVs to inspect rear suspension brackets that could detach and lead to a crash. Passports were never sold in Canada.

Canadian Honda owners were also spared from a global recall of 1.35 million Fit models for problems with headlights on Thursday.
