General Motors Co. said the engineer responsible for flawed ignitions linked to 13 deaths also oversaw switches in more than 3 million cars recalled today.
The recall covers seven different models and involved ignitions slipping out of the “run” position, like the action that covered 2.59 million small cars earlier this year. While the newly recalled vehicles have a different switch, they shared the same design release engineer, said Alan Adler, a GM spokesman, in an e-mail.
