Markey, Blumenthal Statement on NHTSA’s “Path Forward”

G.M. Deems Steering Issue Unworthy of Recall – 4/10/15

By the end of the year, G.M. had recalled a record number of vehicles — 30 million in North America — and overhauled its safety practices.

But the company’s handling of a recent steering issue sheds new light on where G.M., and regulators, draw the line at what constitutes a safety issue worthy of a recall.
