General Motors today issued six more recalls, covering 717,950 U.S. vehicles for a variety of safety issues. 
 
 The latest recalls widen what was already an all-time U.S. record for recalls in a single year, but are the first wave in July after the company said it would try to make public by the end of June most of the recalls it discovered under a new more vigilant company policy. 
 
 So far the record number of recalls has not hurt sales of new GM vehicles, but the automaker will release second-quarter financial results Thursday. Those earnings will be reduced by a $1.2-billion charge attributed to the cost of repairing these quality problems. 
 
 Jeff Boyer, vice president of global vehicle safety, said the new recalls “signify how we’ve enhanced our approach to safety.” 
 
 GM recalled: 
 
 ■ 414,333 units of the 2011-12 Chevrolet Camaro; 2010-12 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain; 2011-12 Buick Regal and LaCrosse; and 2010-12 Cadillac SRX models to replace a seat adjuster bolt blamed for one crash and three injuries. 
 
 ■ 124,008 units of the 2014 Chevrolet Caprice, 2014 Chevrolet SS, light-duty and heavy-duty 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, 2013-14 Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, 2014 Cadillac ELR and 2013-2014 Buick Encore because they “may have an incomplete weld on the seat hook bracket assembly,” though less than 1% of the cars will need the fix. It’s not blamed for any crashes or injuries. 
 
 ■ 120,426 units of the 2011-13 Buick Regal and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu to fix a module that may not get a notification when a turn signal bulb burns out. It’s not blamed for any crashes or injuries. 
 
 ■ 57,242 units of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala to clean up paint that may have seeped behind a nut on the power steering control module, potentially causing a temporary loss of power steering. It’s blamed for one crash and no injuries. 
 
 ■ 1,919 units of the 2014-15 Chevrolet Spark to fix a lower-control arm bolt that wasn’t fastened properly and could results in loss of steering control. It’s not blamed for any crashes or injuries. 
 
 ■ 22 units of the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali because their roof carriers may have the wrong retaining nuts installed on their roof carriers. ||||| In the last 3 months, General Motors' stock is down about 7 and a half percent. CNBC's Phil LeBeau provides insight to the company's 4 recalls announced today. 
 
 General Motors said Tuesday it will recall another 2.42 million vehicles in the U.S., lifting the number of cars it has recalled so far in 2014 for more than 15 million. 
 
 The automaker also said it is doubling the charge it expects to take in the second quarter to about $400 million, mostly for recall-related repairs. 
 
 According to the company's press release, the four recalls announced Tuesday include: 
 
 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 4-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 air bag to the instrument panel assembly could result in a partial deployment of the air bag 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. 
 
 GM said there have been no fatalities associated with the recalls.

 The company's shares hit session lows following the news Tuesday. 
 
 
 
 GM has been dealing with a public relations crisis brought on by its handling of the faulty switches, which led last week to a record fine of $35 million by U.S. safety regulators. 
 
 The company faces investigations by the U.S Department of Justice, Congress, the SEC and several states on why it took so long to recall cars linked to the issue, which was first noticed in 2001. GM recalled the cars earlier this year.

– In the second massive US vehicle recall in the space of a week, General Motors is recalling around 1 million pickups and SUVs because of a power-steering software defect that causes a crash risk. The recall affects the 2015 models of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Chevy Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade, reports the Wall Street Journal. The company says the glitch, which can cause the vehicles to briefly lose electronic power steering, has been a factor in at least 30 accidents and two injuries, but no deaths that it is aware of. When the steering assist is lost and suddenly returns, "the driver may have difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds," according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration release. GM says dealers will update the power steering module software free of charge, reports Reuters. The Journal notes that software glitches, while generally easier to fix than mechanical ones, are rapidly rising as a source of recalls—increasing an average of 30% every year between 2013 and 2016, according to one study. (Ford recalled around 2 million pickups this week because of a seat belt problem.)
