NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
The House committee investigating GM's botched recall publicly released 250,000 pages of related documents Friday, including internal emails discussing investigations of the Cobalt, Ion and other recalled vehicles.
Just one email released by the committee has GM CEO, Mary Barra's name on it. It discusses steering problems in Cobalts and Ions and was sent to her in 2011, before she became CEO.
The email didn't mention the ignition switch problem that sparked this year's massive recalls. Barra testified that she did not know the issue was even being investigated within GM until December of 2013. The recall was first ordered on January 31.
GM spokesman Alan Adler told CNNMoney Friday that the email has nothing to do with the ignition switch recall and "in no way contradicts Ms. Barra's previous statements."

CEO Mary Barra's name appears on just one of the documents made public Friday, but GM says the email is unrelated to the ignition switch recall.
