General Motors President Dan Ammann said today that GM wants to convey a message of transparency to its customers as its new executive team grapples with the recall of 1.6 million vehicles to fix faulty ignition switches."This is a new leadership team," Ammann told reporters on the sidelines of the auto show here. "We're aiming to do things in the right way."
"We're doing everything we can to work with our customers and our dealers to get everything as straight as we can,"
Ammann said GM is being "proactive" and "transparent" in its response to the recall of the Chevrolet, Pontiac, Saturn and Opel models.
