Government notes question GM recall delays and findings
Government safety notes from 1981 show engineers tested brake repairs for 1980 X-model GM cars and found the fix would not work. The test, July 8 9 1981, suggested four times more cars were affected than the 47 000 GM planned to repair. A 1982 test agreed with the result but no action occurred until January 15 1983. GM announced a recall three weeks later for 320 000 X cars amid ongoing talks on terms.
