[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]It said the driver's side airbag in the affected cars may not deploy properly, due to a wrong part being used.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The part was supplied by Japan's Takata Corp. A defective part from Takata is already the subject of a major global recall by various car manufacturers. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]But [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/97174.html]GM[/url] said its issue was not related to a defective part.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Jim Cain, spokesman for GM, was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying that the affected Cruze cars "may have been assembled with an incorrect part".[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The recent moves by various car makers to recall million of cars globally were triggered by the use of a defective part rather than a wrong one.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]On Monday, Japanese carmakers Honda and Nissan added two million and 755,000 vehicles respectively to the recall they issued last year to replace the defective part.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Toyota, the world's biggest car maker, recalled an additional 650,000 cars earlier this month to address the issue, taking its total recall tally due to the problem to nearly 2.8 million [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/97174.html]vehicles[/url].[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]Growing problems?[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]For GM, the latest move has added to the issues it has faced this year. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The firm has recalled more than 17 million cars in the US this year - more than it sold in 2013. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The recalls have been issued due to various problems including faulty[b]
ignition switches(点火开关)[/b], possible faulty seat belts, transmissions and air bags, as well as potential fire issues.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]In May, the company was fined $35m for failing to address defects with the ignition switches which have been linked to 13 deaths.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Board (NHTSA), it was the single highest civil penalty ever levied as a result of a recall investigation.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The company has also raised its expected second-quarter charge for recall expenses to $700m, up from $400m.[/size][/font]
