General Motors Co. general counsel Michael Millikin, who has faced criticism and congressional inquiries over his handling of an ignition-switch defect, has announced plans to retire in early 2015.
Friday’s announcement came as GM’s legal department faced a Justice Department investigation and impending discovery in lawsuits filed over the defect, which prompted recalls of 2.6 million cars and trucks worldwide this year. GM already has paid a maximum $35 million fine over its failure to report the defect to federal regulators. Including the ignition switch, GM has recalled nearly 30 million vehicles over defects this year.
