REUTERS/Carlos Barria/Files (UNITED STATES - Tags: BUSINESS)Carlos Barria—Reuters by [Sam Frizell](/author/sam-frizell/) ## Sam Frizell Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Mar 17, 2014 5:04 PM CUT General Motors said Monday that it is recalling an additional 1.55 million vehicles, bringing the auto company’s total costs related to the recall to $300 million for the first quarter. GM initially announced a recall of 1.6 million vehicles last month due to ignition safety issues, and this latest batch of recalls is the result of a comprehensive internal safety review ordered by GM’s CEO Mary Barra after the outcry. GM admitted that some of its employees knew for nearly a decade about the faulty ignition switches, which have been linked to at least 12 deaths. The U.S. Attorney in New York has launched a criminal investigation into the company, and Congress and other investigators are probing the company as well. On Friday, a class action lawsuit was filed in Texas by GM owners who believe their vehicles have lost value after the recalls. “I asked our team to redouble our efforts on our pending product reviews, bring them forward and resolve them quickly,” Barra said in statement Monday. “Today’s announcement underscores the focus we’re putting on the safety and peace of mind of our customers. We are conducting an intense review of our internal processes and will have more developments to announce as we move forward.” The company estimated its total costs relating to recalls would reach $300 million in the first quarter of 2014\. In the fourth quarter of 2013 GM reported net income of about $900 million. GM newest recalls includes 1.18 million SUV models including Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia models from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from the 2009-2013 model years, and Saturn Outlook from the 2008-2010 model years due to service airbag issues. GM is also recalling 303,000 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana from the 2009-2014 model years with gross vehicle weight under 10,000 pounds, and 63,900 Cadillac XTS full-size sedan from the 2013 and 2014 model years. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/27352/gm-recalls-another-1-5-million-vehicles/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/27352/gm-recalls-another-1-5-million-vehicles/"},"headline":"GM Recalls Another 1.5 Million Vehicles","datePublished":"2014-03-17T17:04:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T06:48:23.460Z","description":"The total costs of the recall of over 3 million vehicles will add up to $300 million in first quarter, the car maker announces","url":"https://time.com/27352/gm-recalls-another-1-5-million-vehicles/","keywords":["Automotives"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltda6e41706f16effe/698685ce1eebf75fd536fdd5/2014-03-17t155622z_273540132_tm4ea3h0x-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltda6e41706f16effe/698685ce1eebf75fd536fdd5/2014-03-17t155622z_273540132_tm4ea3h0x-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chevrolet cars are seen at a GM dealership in Miami in this file photo","caption":"Chevrolet cars are seen at a GM dealership in Miami.","creditText":"Carlos Barria—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/automotives/","name":"Automotives"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/27352/gm-recalls-another-1-5-million-vehicles/","name":"GM Recalls Another 1.5 Million Vehicles"}}]}] ```
