Is Any GM Car Safe From a Recall?

By Daniel Finney

Black GM SilveradoGeneral Motors has made history by recalling 60 vehicle models within the last six months—a new record for the auto industry. A total of 29.7 million cars were recalled by GM, surpassing the 22 million cars recalled by all automobile companies last year.

GM has become cautious with all of their vehicles after employees looked the other way when they discovered an ignition defect.  About 2.6 million cars were affected, and the company believes the defect caused 13 deaths.

Since then, GM has been adamant about recalling all vehicles that have potential to cause any danger to drivers. In recent press releases, GM stressed that many of the recalls were in accordance with the policies and models in the “old GM” before the 2009 bankruptcy, according to NBC. However, recalls are happening with newer models, too.

The only three models that have not been recalled are: Chevrolet Equinox Crossover, Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, and GMC Terrain.

USA Today has a full list of the year, model, and reason for recall. Here are the models that have been recalled since January by year:

The auto company released their second-quarter earnings report, which shows the company has spent 1.2 billion dollars on recall campaigns. However, their business has not decreased.  NBC reported there are still positive reviews for GM cars such as Chevy Impala, Corvette and the Silverado truck, which was voted North American Car and Truck of the Year for 2014.

As car accident attorneys, safety is our first priority. It is disheartening to hear that only 70 percent of recalled cars are being repaired.  If you are one of the 8 million car owners that haven’t taken your car in for service, remember that you are putting yourself and other drivers in danger.

If you have been in a car accident involved a recalled car, contact us at Finney Law Office, LLC to receive the compensation that you deserve.
