Th Associated Press DETROIT General Motors Corp. today announced the recall of 500,000 of its Chevrolet Vega minicars for inspection and possible replacement of defective rear axle shafts. The recall, GM said, involves virtually all 1971 and 1972 Vegas built prior to last May 5. Only models with so-called "Positraction" rear axles are excluded. Chevrolet said 59 shaft failures have been reported thus far, but that no injuries have been reported because of them.

It said two failures have resulted in minor body damage to vehicles. Somewhat similar rear axle failures resulted earlier this year in Ford Motor recall of more than 400,000 1972 Ford Torinos and Mercury Montegos. "Excessive end play in the defective shafts," GM Said, "could cause a lock ring to disengage, permitting the shaft and wheel to move outward. "If that should occur, the rear brakes may become inoperative and the wheel and axle could separate from the car, permitting the car to drop down onto the rear suspension." GM said, however, that if rear braking were lost front brakes would continue to work. The company said actual inspection would take less than 10 minutes and that axle replacements, if needed, could be completed in approximately an hour.

Inspection and replacements will be at company expense.
