General Motors Co. says it has so far responded to roughly two-thirds of the 107 questions it has been asked by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about its delayed recall of 2.6 million cars with defective ignition switches.
GM tells Reuters it turned over some 200,000 pages of documents to NHTSA by the agency's midnight Thursday deadline. The company continues to deliver more material.
NHTSA says it will take "appropriate action" after GM completes its submissions. The agency has not indicated how much of the material it receives will be made public.
GM, which has produced records showing it knew of the defect in 2001, faces multiple lawsuits and a criminal investigation by the U.S. Dept. of Justice. The company also is conducting its own internal probe
