GM: Four more safety recalls, 430,000 cars
NEW YORK. KAZINFORM General Motors on Friday announced four safety recalls covering nearly 430,000 vehicles in the U.S.
The recall covers nearly 30,000 air bag inflators in 2013-2014 model year Chevrolet Cruze sedans. GM (GM) says the inflators could fail or rupture, which could propel metal pieces that could injure the driver. GM says its aware of one injury related to the issue, CNNMoney reports.
The automaker told dealerships to stop selling those Cruze models on Tuesday, but lifted that stop-sale order late Wednesday, after identifying all the affected vehicles.

The Cruze problem stems from a defective part instead of a chemical issue that affected other recalled vehicles, said GM spokesman Jim Cain. The Cruze is GM's best-selling car in the United States. It sold 248,000 of them last year.
