DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is recalling about 500 pickup
trucks and SUVs to fix faulty air bag controls, its 30th recall so far
this year.
The company is in the midst of a companywide safety
review after it mishandled the recall of more than 2.6 million older
small cars with faulty ignition switches. GM has acknowledged knowing
about the switch problem for more than a decade before it began
recalling the cars in February.
GM says Friday’s recall covers
full-size pickups and SUVs from the 2014 and 2015 model years. All 500
are still at dealerships and won’t be sold until repairs are made.
Since January, GM has recalled more than 13.8 million vehicles in the U.S. as it promises to respond
faster to safety issues.
