????通用汽車（General Motors）上周四表示，由于多起召回事件產(chǎn)生的成本,，以及為點(diǎn)火開(kāi)關(guān)故障導(dǎo)致的至少13起死亡傷害建立賠償基金預(yù)計(jì)的耗費(fèi),，公司第二季度的利潤(rùn)縮水了83%。

????這家汽車制造商稱其第二季度的凈收益跌至2億美元,，而去年同期這一數(shù)值為12億美元,。

????通用汽車在這一季度計(jì)入了建立受害者賠償基金的費(fèi)用，公司表示為此要支付高達(dá)6億美元,。此外,，維修今年以來(lái)召回的近3,000萬(wàn)輛汽車也耗費(fèi)了通用汽車8.74億美元。

????這一季度,，通用汽車召回了大量產(chǎn)品,，首席執(zhí)行官瑪麗?巴拉也多次在國(guó)會(huì)作證。公司已經(jīng)支付了美國(guó)運(yùn)輸部（Department of Transportation）和美國(guó)國(guó)家公路運(yùn)輸安全局（National Highway Transportation Administration）開(kāi)具的3,500萬(wàn)美元罰款,。面對(duì)持續(xù)的點(diǎn)火開(kāi)關(guān)故障丑聞,，公司在未來(lái)可能還會(huì)收到司法部（Justice Department）更大的罰單。

????通用汽車本季度的收入與去年同期基本持平,，為396億美元,，去年同期為391億美元。

????上周三,，通用汽車又宣布了召回六款汽車,，范圍不止于今年困擾公司的點(diǎn)火開(kāi)關(guān)問(wèn)題。這讓通用汽車今年宣布的召回總數(shù)增加到了60次,，涉及全球近3,000萬(wàn)輛汽車。

????今年以來(lái),，通用汽車持續(xù)遭遇著因點(diǎn)火開(kāi)關(guān)故障引起的安全危機(jī)。這種存在于數(shù)百萬(wàn)輛舊車上的安全隱患已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致多人喪生,。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????General Motors said Thursday its second-quarter profit plunged 83% due to the cost of numerous recalls and the expected cost of a compensation fund for those killed or injured by a faulty ignition switch linked to at least 13 deaths.

????The automaker said its net income in the quarter fell to $200 million, compared with $1.2 billion in the same period a year earlier.

????The quarter included charges for the establishment of a victims’ compensation fund, which GM said could cost the company as much as $600 million, as well as an additional $874 million for the cost of repairing the nearly 30 million cars it has recalled so far this year.

????The automaker’s results come after a quarter in which GM has issued myriad recalls and seen CEO Mary Barra called to testify in front of Congress multiple times. The company took a $35 million fine from the Department of Transportation and National Highway Transportation Administration, and could still be looking at even bigger charges from the Justice Department for the ongoing faulty ignition switch scandal.

????GM’s revenue for the quarter was mostly flat from a year prior, with total money brought in sitting at $39.6 billion compared with $39.1 billion the year before.

????On Wednesday, GM announced six new vehicle recalls, expanding beyond the ignition switch defect that has dogged the automaker for much of this year, bringing its total recall number for the year to 60 involving almost 30 million vehicles worldwide.

????For much of the year, GM has been overwhelmed by a safety crisis set off by faulty ignition switches in millions of older cars that the automaker has linked to multiple deaths.
