The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has turned down a request by two U.S. senators to advise 2.6 million car owners to park their vehicles until General Motors Co. can replace their cars' defective ignition switches.
NHTSA says no such action is necessary because GM has advised owners how to avoid a problem until their cars are repaired later this year.
Last month a federal judge in Texas turned down a similar request from a plaintiff in a lawsuit over the defect, which has been linked to 13 fatalities.
