General Motors Co. (GM), which has already called back almost 29 million vehicles in North America for various fixes this year, recalled almost 718,000 more today in the U.S., many of them recent models.

In the largest of six recalls, GM is calling back more than 414,000 vehicles, including Chevrolet Camaros, Buick Regals and LaCrosses from model years 2011-2012. It also flagged Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX models from 2010-2012. The bolt for seat-height adjustments may become loose or fall out, the company said in a e-mailed statement. The automaker said it knows of three injuries and no fatalities related to this action.

“These recalls signify how we’ve enhanced our approach to safety,” Jeff Boyer, vice president, global vehicle safety, said in the statement. “We are bringing greater rigor and discipline to our analysis and decision making. If we identify an issue – large or small – that might affect the safety of our customers, we will act decisively.”

The biggest U.S. automaker is stepping up the pace of recalls as it faces multiple investigations for its slowness in calling back 2.59 million small cars with ignition flaws linked to at least 13 deaths. Since that action began in February, the company has recalled other cars for similar issues, accounting for about 17 million of the fixes with more than 12 million of that number flagged in June alone.

4. No but thanks to the Hobby Lobby ruling from scotus maybe its time to go directly after

the higher ups with criminal charges like say 13 counts of manslaughter and or first degree murder if it can be proven they knew about the problem and did nothing?

6. "We are bringing greater rigor and discipline to our analysis and decision making."

This wouldn't be (as) necessary if there were more rigor placed on the quality assurance process before the vehicle leaves the plant.
