GM recalls another 8.4 million vehicles
General Motors issues yet another recall.
The automaker is recalling an additional 8.4 million vehicles. Most are linked to faulty ignition switches. This comes on the heels of GM's announcement Monday that it will give at least $1 million to each family of the 13 people GM says were killed in accidents linked to faulty ignition switches.

General Motors announced four more recalls Friday, including half a million Camaros for a problem similar to the flawed ignition switch found in more than two million Chevrolet Cobalts that were recalled earlier this year.
That flaw has been tied to least 13 deaths, but it turns out that GM is deciding what counts in that tally and what does not, leaving some families outraged at their exclusion.

GM CEO Mary Barra: 'I am deeply sorry'
Newly-minted General Motors CEO Mary Barra was in the hot seat on Capitol Hill Tuesday over deaths caused by faulty ignitions.
Members of Congress wanted to know why the automaker ignored warning signs of a faulty ignition switch that led to the death of 13 people. It took GM 10Â years to recall the defected cars.
Some say GM turned down potential fixes because it was too expensive. But documents provided by the auto giant show the piece needed to fix a defective ignition would have cost just 57 cents.
