After delaying the recall of 2.6 million vehicles, General Motors has already paid a $35 million dollar settlement to the U.S. Transportation Department. That recall was over faulty ignition switches that have caused 13 reported deaths so far.
In addition to the faulty ignition recalls, several other recalls have been issued by GM for issues with airbags, fire hazards, shifter cables, and faulty lap belts, among others. The majority of these recalls were for vehicles produced between 2004 and 2010, but have now begun to extend to 2014 and 2015 vehicles.
Some of the vehicles on the recall list include the following:
- Pontiac G6
- Buick Enclave
- Saturn Outlook
- GMC Acadia
- Chevrolet Silverado
- GMC Sierra
With these recalls being added to the list, GM has now recalled 13.8 million vehicles, which is more than the 12.2 million cars GM sold between 2009 and 2013.
