A defective ignition switch has caused General Motors a great amount of grief. Over the course of 10 years, the defective part led to more than a dozen deaths and numerous injuries before GM identified the problem, initiated a recall process and instituted a compensation plan for victims, an ordeal estimated to eventually cost the company over $9 billion, according to a July 5 article in Automotive News, “Just how much will recall storm cost GM?“
As part of this process, GM hired Jenner & Block chairman Anton Valukas, a former U.S. Attorney, to conduct an extensive internal investigation of the company and its actions.
