General Motors released a report Thursday on an internal investigation into the recall of 2.6 million older small cars for defective ignition switches. It took GM more than a decade to report the switch failures, which it blames for 13 deaths. The report found that a pattern of incompetence and neglect within GM was to blame for the delay in the recall.
