It’s the American car manufacturer. Last week a fine of € 25.5 million on the mat, and now (again) an expensive recall.

This time it goes to four different recalls. In the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia would be the belt can fray and this is not adequate security. The Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 has a faulty in the gearbox and in the Cadillac Escalade can the airbag service refuse. The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra camps with a more serious problem, with these cars you have a chance that the car will spontaneously catch fire.

With the recall of 2.4 million cars, the counter already this year to 13.6 million vehicles. It puts GM in the quarter, say around 400 million dollars in his back. Add to that a sloppy $ 1.3 billion for the recalls in the first quarter, and there remains little of the profit.

According to GM, everything revolves around the safety and safety first is paramount. I am only curious how long the manufacturer this full going to keep.
