The new recalls, including one of nearly 500,000 newer pickup trucks and SUVs linked to a fire in California, come days before GM CEO Mary Barra will testify in congressional hearings that start Tuesday.
GM has now recalled 2.59 million vehicles linked to the ignition switches since early February in what has become the biggest crisis to engulf GM in years, according to the news report.
