The recall is expected to cost the Detroit automaker $1.2 billion. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said GM must recall 5.9 million 2007-2014 model year trucks and SUVs because the inflators \u201care at risk of the same type of explosion after long-term exposure to high heat and humidity as other recalled Takata inflators.\u201d GM has estimated it would cost $1.2 billion if it were required to replace air bag inflators it had sought to avoid fixing. GM said that it will recall 7 million vehicles worldwide, including 544,000 in Canada. The company had argued the recalls were unnecessary because they did not pose a safety risk. GM said yesterday that it still believed \u201ca recall of these vehicles is not warranted based on the factual and scientific record.\u201d The company said it \u201cwill abide by NHTSA\u2019s decision and begin taking the necessary steps.\u201d The defect, which leads in rare instances to air bag inflators rupturing and sending potentially deadly metal fragments flying \u2014 especially after long-term exposure to high humidity \u2014 prompted the largest automotive recall in U.S. history of more than 63 million inflators. Worldwide, about 100 million inflators by 19 major automakers have been recalled.Being sued?
