General Motors Recall

2014 Recalls Affecting More Than 3 Million Vehicles

Over the last two months, General Motors (GM) has recalled more than 3 million vehicles in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The first batch of recalls, which began on February 13, involved 1.5 million vehicles affected by an ignition glitch that could cause the vehicle to shut off without warning. When this glitch causes the vehicles to shut off, it could also cut power to the airbags and other safety features, causing them not to deploy. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is currently investigating GM’s handling of this recall. The second batch of recalls began on March 17, and involved more than 1.6 million vehicles. This recall involves more than 1.6 million vehicles which may require one of three different types of repairs: instrument panel repairs, brake booster repairs, or seat-mounted airbag wiring repairs.
