GM Chief Executive Mary Barra put two engineers on paid leave because of the massive recall over faulty ignitions linked to at least 13 deaths.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
GM Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra confirmed Thursday that the engineers were placed on leave following a briefing from Anton Valukas, the former U.S. attorney overseeing an independent investigation into a recall of 2.6 million cars with ignition defects.
"This is an interim step as we seek the truth about what happened," Barra said.
GM has traced a defect in an ignition switch to at least 13 deaths. The defect caused the car to shut off while driving, disabling the airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes.
GM (GM, Fortune 500) knew of the problem as early as 2004, and now federal investigators, Congress and attorneys representing GM vehicle owners are asking why the company didn't issue a recall years ago.

In February, GM recalled all years of the Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, Pontiac Pursuit and Saturn Ion, as well as 2006 to 2007 Chevrolet HHRs, 2006 to 2007 Pontiac Solstices and the 2007 Saturn Sky.
Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is fining GM $7,000 a day for failing to answer 107 questions about its ignition switch recall by the regulator's April 3 deadline.
GM has recalled nearly 7 million vehicles so far this year.
