General Motors is recalling nearly 1.2 million SUVs for
defective side air bags.
GM also announced smaller recalls Monday of commercial vans and
Cadillac sedans amounting to about 364,000 vehicles for separate problems.
The new recall comes as GM is facing multiple investigations
over its handling of a recall of more than 1.6 million small cars for defective
ignition switches.
The company says it expects to spend approximately $300 million
in the first quarter to repair the vehicles in the new recalls as well as the
vehicles in the ignition recall.
The company said Monday it's recalling the SUVs, including the
Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia, because their side air bags might not deploy.
