From npr news in Washington I'm Winsir Johnston. Newly released document show General Motors delayed another recall. This one involves more than 300,000 vehicles with defective 1 power staling systems. Npr's Hosney Lowon reports the news comes on the hills of another long delayed recall. It's General Motors more than a decade to win the public that more than 2.6 million of its cars had faulty ignition switches. Now documents posed on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website showed that GM also waited years to recall more than 300,000 unsettled ions for power staling failure. This despite receiving thousands of consumers' complaints claiming for volunteer repair. The document also showed that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigstion about the defective power staling systems more than 2 years ago. But the government regulator did not siger a recall after finding the power problem cause a dozen crashes and true injuries. Hosney Lowon, npr news.
