GM Takes Recall Fight to Familiar Turf: Bankruptcy Court – Bloomberg
By Linda Sandler
General Motors Co. (GM) is bringing its fight against owners of recalled cars to its former turf: the Manhattan bankruptcy court where the U.S. government financed the automaker’s turnaround five years ago.
GM is facing 59 lawsuits by car owners demanding as much $10 billion in damages for recalled vehicles with faulty ignition switches, which can shut off engines while driving and prevent airbags from inflating.
