Vauxhall Zafira: GM criticised by MPs over safety recall
MPs have criticised General Motors over its handling of a recall last year after hundreds of Vauxhall Zafira cars caught fire. More than 234,000 Vauxhall Zafira B cars were recalled for a second time last year over an engine problem that had caused some models to burst into flames. Evira Toelkes, vice-president of quality at GM Europe, told MPs the firm had written 1.2 million letters to owners seeking a recall and managed to fix 165,000 cars. The executives were also criticised for having launched 59 investigations into the damaged vehicles, despite knowing of 287 reported fires. Thomas Berenz - director of global safety and field investigations at GM - said GM had not been able to access all of the vehicles.
