GM Auto Recall
"This GM recall is a decade late and dozens of lives and injuries short. We need NHTSA’s Early Warning Reporting system to actually provide early warnings, instead of just a rear view mirror look into what has already gone terribly wrong. I call upon automakers and the Transportation Department to support the legislation I introduced with Senator Blumenthal that would ensure more reporting and transparency about incidents involving fatalities so that these types of tragedies never happen again" - Senator Markey
