DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is recalling more than 60,000 vehicles in North America, the latest round of recalls this year for the automaker.

The company outlined three new recalls Saturday, the biggest of which affects 46,873 vehicles in the U.S.

The recalls are Pontiac G8s from the 2008 through the 2009 model years and 2011-2013 model Chevrolet Caprice PPV left-hand-drive sedans imported from Australia.

The ignition switch key may shift from the "run" position when touched by the driver's knee, GM said.

1. They are being extremely careful

I think they may turn out to be an even better company when all is said and done.

2. Huge problem: "PPV" means "police patrol vehicle"

Of all the cars you don't want to be able to shut off with your knee, a cop car is at the very top of the list.

5. I think I got that from Bill Maher, that only three cars haven't been recalled yet

I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky three, though I had the dealership double check...
