GM recalls 2.7 million more cars; industry on record pace

DETROIT — General Motors recalled 2.7 million more cars Thursday and has now recalled more than 11 million vehicles in the U.S. since January, putting the auto industry on track to set a record for recalls in a single year.

GM said the cars are being recalled to fix problems with brake lights, headlamps, power brakes and windshield wipers.

Along with recalls from Toyota, Ford, Chrysler and others, GM’s actions have the U.S. auto industry on pace to break the record of 30.8 million recalled vehicles set in 2004. GM also is close to breaking its own U.S. recall record of 11.8 million, also from 2004.
