Safety group warns GM dealers not to sell CPO cars under recall

The advocate group, Center for Auto Safety, has said that General Motors and its dealers should not be allowed to sell unrepaired vehicles with outstanding safety recalls under its certified pre-owned (CPO) program.

–There is no place in a CPO program for vehicles with open recalls which endanger the life of anyone who buys such a vehicle,” the Center said in a letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. A proposed consent agreement between the Federal Trade Commission and GM would –emasculate” a provision of an agreement the FTC reached with GM last September by allowing vehicles under open safety recall to be sold as CPO vehicles, the Center said.
