General Motors Co. said its global auto sales rose 0.5 percent to 2.51 million during the second quarter as the largest U.S. automaker’s tally of vehicle recalls in North America reached a record.
GM sold 4.92 million cars and trucks during the first six months, a 1.4 percent gain from a year earlier, the Detroit-based automaker said today in an e-mailed statement. The second-quarter total compares with 2.49 million in the same period of 2013, according to GM’s figures. Increasing deliveries in China and U.S. helped offset declines in Europe, South America and other foreign markets.
