(MENAFN) General Motors announced recalling 3.36 million vehicles in North America over an ignition switches defect that can be jarred out of the run, The Peninsula Qatar reported.
The switch issue is similar to the defect linked to at least 13 deaths in an earlier, 2.6-million vehicle recall of Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars.
GM engineers first noted that problem more than a decade ago, and GM's slow response to the switch issue triggered investigations within the company and by Congress and federal agencies.
GM recalled more than half a million Chevrolet Camaro sports cars on Friday for ignition switch issues, saying a bump of the knee could turn off the engine.
