New car recall breaks GM's record

It seems that General Motors cannot exit the vicious car recall circle it has been trapped in.

The carmaker announced yesterday that it was making not one, but four recalls, totaling a number of 2.4 million vehicles suspected of having faulty components.

After adding the figures, GM has called back a record number of 13.6 million cars in 2014, so far.

Yesterday's recall includes 1.4 million Buick Enclaves, Chevrolet Traverses, and GMC Acadias, produced from 2009 to 2014, together with 2009-2010 Saturn Outlooks called back because their seatbelts might separate from the seat during an accident and around 1 million Chevy Malibus and Pontiac G6s with faulty shift cables.

Even though these recalls might seem bad for the company, they actually aren't as they reassess safety procedures and force other car makers to do the same.

'What these recalls genuinely or accurately represent is a hard, self-critical analysis on what to do and how they need to fix problems,' reported an analyst.
