WASHINGTON — GM is recalling 44,451 2008 Saturn Vue vehicles because the doors may not latch when closed, which “could result in an unbelted occupant falling out of the vehicle,” according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In its recalls summary of the problem, NHTSA says that if an unbelted occupant falls out of the vehicle, it could cause “increased risk of injury.”

The recall involves Vue vehicles with body-color outside door handles. Saturn dealers will replace the outside door handles with chrome door handles for free. The recall is expected to begin on or before Aug. 18. Owners may contact Saturn at 800-972-8876.
