Judge won't order recalled General Motors cars to be parked
DETROIT - A federal judge in Texas has denied an emergency motion that would have forced General Motors (GM) to tell owners of 2 million recalled cars to stop driving their vehicles until their ignition switches are repaired.
GM had urged the court not to intervene and instead let a recall overseen by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proceed. The carmaker said extensive testing had shown that if the recall instructions were followed, there was no risk that the ignition switch would fail.
GM has linked the switch to 13 deaths.
