G.M. to Expand Last Year’s Limited Recall of S.U.V.’s
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration persuaded General Motors to recall almost 194,000 more 2005-7 sport utility vehicles for an electrical problem that could cause fires. A similar recall affecting about 278,000 vehicles was issued last year, but only in certain states.
G.M. had resisted both recalls, wanting instead to provide some owners with an extended warranty, according to two documents – one from 2012 and another posted over the weekend on N.H.T.S.A.’s Web site.
