* Michigan - GM's Barra sends letters to 1.9M car owners in ignition switch recall


Detroit,MICH,USA -The Detroit News, by Melissa Burden -August 18, 2014: -- General Motors Co. CEO, Mary Barra, this month sent letters to about 1.9 million owners affected by GM’s high-profile ignition switch recall of 2.59 million cars, urging them to complete repairs... Letters included information about the compensation fund for victims and families harmed by the defective ignition switches. At least 13 deaths are linked to the defect... The expanded website gives details on ignition switch-related recalls affecting a particular vehicle and what customers should do. It originally was created to get information to customers affected by the recall of 2.59 million Chevrolet Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other cars for defective ignition switches that can move from the “run” position while driving. When that happens, it turns off the engine and disables power steering and air bags... The automaker has recalled more than 16.45 million vehicles this year for various ignition switch problems...  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the average recall completion rate is about 75 percent, but is much lower for older cars. All automakers must provide a free recall search by vehicle identification number (VIN), on their websites by Wednesday; it also will be available at www.safercar.gov...
