General Motors Recalls Another 2.4 Million Vehicles over Ignition Defects 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
General Motors has recalled an additional 2.4 million cars over a safety
defect linked to hundreds of deaths. GM began recalling its vehicles
just this year despite knowing of a faulty ignition switch in its
vehicles at least a decade earlier. It's now recalled 13.6 million
vehicles in the United States and 15.2 million worldwide. The Department
of Transportation fined GM $35 million last week as part of a series of
government probes into its concealment of the deadly ignition flaws.
