. >>> an update now on that general motors recall on ignition switches linked to dozens of deaths. there are still more than 1 million cars on the american road that need to be fixed. and we're learning tonight general motors was aware of the problem months before telling the government about this potentially deadly defect. we get our report on this tonight from nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: tonight, serious questions about whether gm knew far earlier than it first admitted about a deadly ignition switch defect, linked to at least 32 deaths and hundreds of injuries. most of the victims in their teens and early 20s. gm announced the recall on february 7th, but newly discovered e-mails between gm and a supplier show both parties knew there was a problem two months earlier in december. a gm project manager writes of an urgent field action for our customers and the need to secure 500,000 replacement parts. but appearing before congress last spring ceo mary barra repeatedly testified she'd only learned of the widespread ignition problems in january. >> i was not aware that there was

so far, at least 30 deaths are linked to gm's faulty ignitions.ive in washington with the latest. good morning rene. >> good morning. now this morning new questions about how long gm and top executives knew about this deadly problem with the ignition switches on 2.6 million vehicles. now cnn money has obtained pages of e-mails that show urgent e-mails sent to an ignition switch supplier asking for half a million replacement parts as soon as possible. e-mails are dated two months before the company alerted federal safety regulators. an attorney suing the auto maker on behalf of victims says recently unclassified e-mails reveals that gm top executives knew about the problem long before a recall was issued. if that truly is the case, that's a blow to their credibility. the company says top executives did not know about the problem until just before the february recall. they acted immediately. the faulty switches are linked to at least 30 deaths. the problem is too much weight on an ignition key can move it out of the run position. that would just end

contracts worker, and placed an order for over 500,000 ignition switch replacements. the trouble with this is it wasn't until a couple of months later, earlier this year, that general motors ordered the ignition switch recall. and what is troubling is general motors knew about the issue for over a decade, but did nothing about it. the issue with the ignition switches is that if it slips, somehow slips out of the off position, the airbags can become deactivated, as well as other features. this is an issue linked to over a dozen deaths and multiple car accidents. this report does not go in general motors favour. the automaker issued a statement saying the emails are further confirmation that it needed to reform. we have done so, reorganised safety, and have more investigators move issues more quickly. as the issue continues, it's been a year, and the evidence is stacking off. they extreme lined the investigation. half of the defective cars have not been fixed. it's been nine months since the recall was announced. why is it taking so long. the automaker says that people

it comes amid those faulty ignition switches we've been following here. nearly half of those cars still not fixed. and auto makers saying those drivers should be doing one thing on their own. taking tall other keels off your keychair? here's abc's david kerley tonight. >> reporter: tonight's ford recall pushes the record higher. this is the year of the most auto recalls ever. just gm alone has recalled 26 million cars this year. it only sold 14 million cars in the past five years. and many cars are still carrying defe defects. the gm ignition switch, which can cut off power to moving cars resulted in a recall of 2.3 million cars on the road. more than half have a new switch. meaning there's more than a million cars that still need the fix, even though gm says it has the parts available. then, there is -- that air bag maker, scrambling to make millions of replacement parts because some bags are exploding too strongly. customers forced to wait, driving a car that could have a dangerous air bag. these recalls have many of us worried. so, my car's model year
