"Last week was not a good one for General Motors, which announced new recalls totaling 2.7 million vehicles and got hit with a $35 million fine by the NHTSA for its ignition-switch recall mismanagement. This week, it seems things are picking up right where they left off. GM announced today that 2.4 million vehicles are involved in four separate, new safety recalls. The majority of those affected are Lambda-platform large crossovers and the last-generation Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6. The latest Escalade and the new HD pickups also get summoned, albeit in smaller numbers. Here&amp;#039;s the rundown, taken straight from the GM announcement.  1,339,355 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia full-size crossovers from the 2009-2014 model years and Saturn Outlooks from 2009-2010 because front safety lap belt cables can fatigue and separate over time. In a crash, a separated cable could increase the risk of injury to front-seat passengers. 1,075,102 of the previous-generation four-speed automatic transmission Chevrolet Malibu and from the 2004-2008 model years and Pontiac G6 from the 2005-2008 model years because of a shift cable that could wear out over time, resulting in mismatches of the gear position indicated by the shift lever.  1,402 Cadillac Escalades and Escalade ESVs from the 2015 model year because an insufficiently-heated plastic weld that attaches the passenger-side airbag to the instrument panel assembly could result in a partial deployment of the airbag in the event of a crash.  58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD full-size pickups from the 2015 model year because retention clips attaching the generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and lead to a potential fire.   No fatalities are associated with the new recalls, but GM says it&amp;#039;s aware of 18 crashes involving affected Malibus and G6s. There have been no reported crashes involving the 2015 Escalades or pickups. All affected large crossovers, new or used, are part of a stop-sale order until the recall service can be performed. The full GM announcement is posted here. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
