(GM Recalls Another 2.6 Million Vehicles, May 20, 2014). The largest of the four recalls recently announced is for more than 1.5 million full-size crossovers from model years 2009 through 2014 to replace potential defective seatbelts, according to the report. This is the 29th time this year that GM has recalled vehicles. The most recent actions are to also cover possibly faulty transmissions, air bags, and fire issues, mostly with regards to vehicles sold in the United States.
The Detroit-based motor company has been under fire from safety advocates and has already been fined by U.S. safety regulators for selling cars with defective ignition switches with, according to the report, were linked to 13 deaths. The U.S. Department of Justice, Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and several state governments are all investigating GM further for the way it handled the faulty ignition switch, which engineers allegedly discovered as far back as 2001. The company is also performing its own internal investigation.
“When a manufacturer recalls a product, anyone who purchased the product usually is entitled to some form of compensation or remedy. Especially if a defect causes an accident and a person is injured, or worse, then there may be a much greater remedy than taking your car in for a part fix or exchanging it for a non-defective model. Regardless of circumstance, anyone who is injured in a motor vehicle accident should contact an attorney immediately to find out what to do next. Victims have rights, and hiring the right expert can be the difference between getting the compensation you deserve as soon as possible and waiting unnecessarily to settle for less.
