stats about the recalls from GM

According to TheDetroitBureau.com, via  http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/01/yearly-auto-recall-record-demolished-in-6-months/   the US recall total has hit 39.85-million vehicles to surpass the previous record of 33.01 million in 2004.

Perhaps more surprising, with over 26 million repairs pending, it's still quite possibly that GM could recall more vehicles by the end of the year than the 27.96-million unit total of the entire US auto industry last year.
