NEW YORK, Mar 14 (AFP): US safety regulators have tracked 303 deaths after airbags failed to properly deploy in vehicles recently recalled by General Motors, a consumer watchdog group said Thursday.
GM is currently at the center of multiple investigations by US authorities because it was too slow to react to a defective ignition switch it linked to 31 accidents and 12 deaths in its 2005-7 Chevrolet Cobalt and 2003-7 Saturn Ion models.
The problem was detected as early as 2001, but GM waited until last month to recall 1.62 million vehicles in two stages in North America.
