GM recalls thousands more vehicles
Print Edition
GENERAL Motors has announced a recall of more than 92,000 additional vehicles over ignition switch problems blamed for 42 deaths.
The US automaker has already recalled millions of cars over the defect, which could switch off power steering and safety airbags while in motion.
It is also facing investigations over why it waited more than a decade after first uncovering the ignition-switch problem to start recalling cars.
The latest recall affects some 83,572 trucks from the 2011-2012 model year, as well as vehicles from 2007 to 2014 that were repaired with faulty parts.
Models affected include the Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche, Tahoe and Suburban, as well as the Cadillac Escalade and the GMC Sierra and Yukon.
Fewer than 500 vehicles are expected to have the defect, GM said in a statement, adding that, as of December 10, 2014, the company did not know of any accidents in the named models related to the problem.
GM said it discovered the issue through an internal review following returns of parts under warranty.
