That's more cars recalled in the first 6 months of 2014 than GM sold in all of 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Looks like the Treasury had a little inside info when it chose its moment to sell its GM stock.

I didn't pay attention to it because we'd had the car so long with no issues—I kind of figured our model didn't have the faulty part.
Toyota called our home to remind us of the recall. Believe it or not, the next day, the part on recall acted up; I made an appointment to have it looked at.
They replaced the part on recall, and it fixed the problem 100%.
I'll never ignore another recall.
