GM Recalls 7 Million Vehicles over Airbags, Will End Support for Lower Fuel Efficiency
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Motors is recalling some 7 million pickup trucks and SUVs
worldwide to replace potentially dangerous air bags. This comes after
the U.S. government ordered GM to recall the vehicles, which GM
maintains are safe to drive.

Meanwhile, the automaker has withdrawn support for the Trump
administration's years-long efforts to block California from
establishing its own fuel efficiency standards. The New York Times
reports GM's move signals the company is ready to work with
President-elect Joe Biden in reducing climate-warming emissions from
cars and trucks.
