GM is in
recall Hell...
General Motors Co.’s growing recall crisis
ballooned Monday as the Detroit automaker called back 8.45 million more
vehicles worldwide in six new recall campaigns — including 8.2 million
cars for unintended ignition key rotation linked to reports of three
deaths and eight injuries.
Monday’s recalls
for ignition switch issues are the latest major campaigns for related
problems since February, when GM began calling back 2.6 million
Chevrolet Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other cars linked to at least 13
deaths and 54 crashes for defective switches. The callbacks were
announced the same day GM opened a victims compensation fund for crashes
linked to the Cobalt recall that could cost hundreds of millions of
dollars.
GM has now recalled 14.8 million
vehicles this year for ignition switch problems — more than doubling the
total on Monday — amid growing scrutiny of vehicles whose ignition keys
can move out of the “on” position and cause air bags to not deploy in a
crash.
