GM Announces Six Safety Recalls
DETROIT – General Motors announced today it will conduct six new safety recalls
in the United States involving about 7.6 million vehicles from the 1997 to 2014
model years.
“We undertook what I believe is the most comprehensive safety review in the history
of our company because nothing is more important than the safety of our
customers,” said GM CEO Mary Barra. “Our customers deserve more than we
delivered in these vehicles. That has hardened my resolve to set a new industry
standard for vehicle safety, quality and excellence.”
Among these recalled vehicles, GM is aware of seven crashes, eight injuries and
three fatalities. The fatal crashes occurred in older model full-size sedans being
recalled for inadvertent ignition key rotation. There is no conclusive evidence that
the defect condition caused those crashes.
“We have worked aggressively to identify and address the major outstanding issues
that could impact the safety of our customers,” Barra said. “If any other issues
come to our attention, we will act appropriately and without hesitation.”
GM has made changes to every process that affects the safety of its vehicles, and
the company has acted or will act on all 90 of the recommendations put forward by
former U.S. Attorney Anton Valukas in his independent report to the company’s
Board of Directors.
GM expects to take a charge of up to approximately $1.2 billion in the second
quarter for the cost of recall-related repairs announced in the quarter. This
amount includes a previously disclosed $700 million charge for recalls already
announced during the quarter.
Until the ignition recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that
customers remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key, and
always use their seat belts. The key fob, if present, should also be removed from
the key ring.
General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM, TSX: GMM) and its partners produce vehicles in 30
countries, and the company has leadership positions in the world's largest and fastestgrowing automotive markets. GM, its subsidiaries and joint venture entities sell vehicles
under the Chevrolet, Cadillac, Baojun, Buick, GMC, Holden, Jiefang, Opel, Vauxhall and
Wuling brands. More information on the company and its subsidiaries, including OnStar, a
global leader in vehicle safety, security and information services, can be found at
