The automaker recalled another 2.4 million U.S. cars and trucks Tuesday, including 1.3 million popular late-model crossover vehicles, and 1.1 million older cars.
The crossover SUVs being recalled -- Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook -- have a problem that can cause the front seat belt to separate from the car during a crash. GM said it is a serious enough problem that it is ordering dealers not to sell new or used models of the vehicles until repairs are made. The model years involved are 2009 to 2014.
GM was hit with a $35 million fine Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a delay in reporting problems with a faulty ignition switch tied to at least 13 deaths. GM engineers knew of the switch problem as early as 2004, but the company did not start recalling the cars until February this year.
