A year ago General Motors Co. agreed to allow federal oversight of its recall procedures for at least a year. On Thursday the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it would extend its monitoring for at least another year, The Detroit News reports.
GM agreed to government oversight as part of a consent order stemming from its delayed recall of 2.6 million cars with defective ignition switches. The devices have so far been linked to 104 fatalities and 192 significant injuries.
Under terms of the decree, GM must submit reports about all possible safety defects and meet monthly with NHTSA officials, in part to describe its efforts to revamp the way it handles recalls. The agency has the option to extend its oversight to May 2017.
