NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
General Motors Company is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as we, our, us, ourselves, the Company, General Motors, or GM. We design, build and sell cars, trucks and automobile parts worldwide. We also provide automotive financing services through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial). We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and GM Financial. Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.
As discussed in Notes 8 and 10 we announced recalls of approximately 7 million vehicles and recorded recall-related charges of approximately $1.3 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (2013 Form 10-K) as filed with the SEC. Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we changed our managerial and financial reporting structure to reclassify the results of our Russian subsidiaries previously reported in our GMIO segment to our GME segment. We have retrospectively revised the segment presentation for all periods presented.
Recently Adopted Accounting Principles
On January 1, 2014 we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists to eliminate diversity in practice. This ASU requires that companies net their unrecognized tax benefits against all same-jurisdiction net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that would be used to settle the position with a tax authority. The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We are required to post cash and marketable securities as collateral for certain agreements that we enter into as part of our operations. Cash and marketable
securities subject to contractual restrictions and not readily available are classified as Restricted cash and marketable securities. Restricted cash and
marketable securities are invested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements and include amounts related to securitizations, escrows and other cash collateral requirements.
Sales proceeds from investments classified as available-for-sale and sold prior to maturity were $736 million and $386 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Cumulative unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities were insignificant at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and net unrealized gains and losses on trading securities were insignificant in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The following table summarizes the amortized cost and the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale by contractual maturity at March 31, 2014 (dollars in millions):

Note 3. GM Financial Receivables, net
Table of Contents
As a result of our October 2010 acquisition of GM Financial and GM Financial's acquisition of certain of the Ally Financial Inc. (Ally Financial)
international operations in the year ended December 31, 2013, finance receivables are reported in two portfolios: pre-acquisition and post-acquisition portfolios. The pre-acquisition finance receivables portfolio consists of finance receivables that were considered to have had deterioration in credit quality at the time they were acquired with the acquisitions of GM Financial and the Ally Financial international operations. The pre-acquisition portfolio will decrease over time with the amortization of the acquired receivables. The post-acquisition finance receivables portfolio consists of finance receivables that were considered to have had no deterioration in credit quality at the time they were acquired with the acquisition of the Ally Financial international operations and finance receivables originated since the acquisitions of GM Financial and the Ally Financial international operations. The post-acquisition portfolio is expected to grow over time as GM Financial originates new receivables.

Of the total allowance for loan losses in the above table, $466 million and $427 million were current at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
GM Financial determined the fair value of consumer finance receivables using observable and unobservable inputs within a cash flow model. The inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair
value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity profile as the portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could negatively affect the credit performance of the portfolio and therefore could potentially affect the assumptions used in GM Financial's cash flow model. A substantial majority of commercial finance receivables have variable interest rates and maturities of one year or less.
Therefore, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The following table summarizes activity for the allowance for loan losses on consumer and commercial finance receivables (dollars in millions):

Credit Quality
Table of Contents
Consumer Finance Receivables

GM Financial uses proprietary scoring systems that measure the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g. FICO score) and contract characteristics. In addition to GM Financial's proprietary scoring systems GM Financial considers other individual consumer factors such as employment history, financial stability and capacity to pay. Subsequent to origination GM Financial reviews the credit quality of retail receivables based on customer payment activity. At the time of loan origination substantially all of GM Financial's international consumers have prime credit scores. In North America sub-prime is typically defined as a loan with a borrower that has a FICO score of less than 620. At March 31, 2014 89% of the consumer finance receivables in North America were from consumers with FICO scores less than 620.
An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent consumer finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $545 million and $642 million .
GM Financial purchases consumer finance contracts from automobile dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to GM Financial if the consumer defaults on the contract. Finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and GM Financial has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract. The following table summarizes the contractual amount of delinquent contracts, which is not significantly different than the recorded investment of the consumer finance receivables (dollars in millions):

Impaired Finance Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings

Consumer finance receivables in the post-acquisition portfolio that become classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) because of payment deferral or other reasons are separately assessed for impairment. A specific allowance is estimated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. The following table summarizes the outstanding recorded investment for consumer finance receivables that are considered to be TDRs and the related allowance (dollars in millions):

Commercial Finance Receivables

GM Financial's commercial finance receivables consist of dealer financings, primarily for inventory purchases. A proprietary model is used to assign a risk rating to each dealer. A credit review of each dealer is performed at least annually, and if necessary, the dealer's risk rating is adjusted on the basis of the

Note 5. Equity in Net Assets of Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Nonconsolidated affiliates are entities in which an equity ownership interest is maintained and for which the equity method of accounting is used, due to the ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs.
Sales and income of our China joint ventures (China JVs) are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each joint venture is reflected as Equity income. There have been no significant ownership changes in our China JVs since December 31, 2013 . The

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 we had undistributed earnings including dividends declared but not received of $2.4 billion and $1.8 billion related to our nonconsolidated affiliates.
Transactions with Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Nonconsolidated affiliates are involved in various aspects of the development, production and marketing of cars, trucks and automobile parts. We purchase component parts and vehicles from certain nonconsolidated affiliates for resale to dealers. We also sell component parts and vehicles to certain nonconsolidated affiliates.

Consolidated VIEs
Automotive
Variable interest entities (VIEs) that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary include
certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements, the most significant of which is GM Egypt. Certain voting and other rights permit us to direct those activities of GM Egypt that most significantly affect its economic performance. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIEs' operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations.

GM Korea Company (GM Korea) and General Motors India Private Limited and Chevrolet Sales India Private Limited (collectively GM India) are nonwholly owned consolidated subsidiaries that we control through a majority voting interest. They are also VIEs because in the future they may require additional subordinated financial support. Combined creditors of GM Korea's and GM India's liabilities, which were composed of short-term and long-term debt, of $217 million and $242 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, do not have recourse to our general credit.
Automotive Financing - GM Financial
GM Financial uses special purpose entities (SPEs) that are considered VIEs to issue variable funding notes to third party bank-sponsored warehouse facilities or asset-backed securities to investors in securitization transactions. The debt issued by these VIEs is backed by the cash flows related to finance receivables and leasing related assets transferred by GM Financial to the VIEs (Securitized Assets). GM Financial holds variable interests in the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. GM

Financial determined that they are the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because: (1) the servicing responsibilities for the Securitized Assets give GM Financial the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs; and (2) the variable interests in the VIEs give GM Financial the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant. The assets and liabilities of the VIEs are included in GM Financial's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities related to GM Financial's consolidated VIEs prior to intercompany eliminations (dollars in millions):

Restricted cash represents collections from the underlying Securitized Assets and certain reserve accounts held as credit enhancement for securitizations held
by GM Financial for the benefit of the noteholders. Except for acquisition accounting adjustments, which are not recorded in SPE trusts, GM Financial recognizes finance charge income, leased vehicle income and other income on the Securitized Assets and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the SPEs. GM Financial also maintains an allowance for estimated probable credit losses on securitized receivables. Cash pledged to support the secured borrowings is deposited to a restricted cash account and recorded as restricted cash, which is invested in highly liquid securities with original maturities of 90 days or less.
The assets of the VIEs and the restricted cash held by GM Financial serve as the sole source of repayment for the asset-backed securities issued by these entities. Investors in the notes issued by the VIEs do not have recourse to GM Financial or its other assets, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities that GM Financial provides as the servicer. GM Financial is not required and does not currently intend to provide additional financial support to these SPEs. While these subsidiaries are included in GM Financial's condensed consolidated financial statements, these subsidiaries are separate legal entities and their assets are legally owned by them and are not available to GM Financial's creditors.
Nonconsolidated VIEs
Automotive
VIEs that are not consolidated include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements and other automotive related entities to which we provided financial support including Ally Financial. We concluded these entities are VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk or may require additional subordinated financial support. We currently lack the power or authority through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Our variable interests in these nonconsolidated VIEs include accounts and notes receivable, equity in net assets, guarantees and financial support, some of which were provided to certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production were not disrupted due to a supplier's liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and total off-balance sheet arrangements related to these VIEs (dollars in millions):

The fair value of debt was measured utilizing Level 2 inputs at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisting of quoted market prices and if unavailable, a discounted cash flow model. This model utilizes observable inputs such as contractual repayment terms and benchmark yield curves, plus a spread based on our senior unsecured notes that is intended to represent our nonperformance risk. We acquire the benchmark yield curves and yields on unsecured notes from independent sources that are widely used in the financial industry. Senior Unsecured Notes
In September 2013 we issued $4.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. These notes contain terms and covenants customary of these types of securities including limitations on the amount of certain secured debt we may issue. In connection with the issuance of these notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement that requires us to file a registration statement with the SEC for an exchange offer with respect to the senior notes. If the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC within 365 days after the closing date of the debt issuance, if we fail to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days after such target effective date or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective, we will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 day period following such event and an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90 day period prior to the consummation of the exchange offer up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.5% per annum.
Technical Defaults and Covenant Violations

Several of our loan facilities require compliance with certain financial and operational covenants as well as regular reporting to lenders, including providing certain subsidiary financial statements. Failure to meet certain of these requirements may result in a covenant violation or an event of default depending on the terms of the agreement. An event of default may allow lenders to declare amounts outstanding under these agreements immediately due and payable, to enforce
their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements or restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings. A foreign subsidiary was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its $75 million term loan facility. We are evaluating alternatives to cure this financial covenant issue and
included this liability in Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The fair value of debt included $25.2 billion and $23.0 billion measured utilizing Level 2 inputs and $5.6 billion and $6.2 billion measured utilizing Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. For revolving credit facilities with variable interest rates and maturities of one year or less, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of other secured debt and the unsecured debt is based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the market value is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be paid using current risk-adjusted rates. Includes private securitizations that GM Financial used observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value. Unobservable inputs are related to the structuring of the debt into various classes, which is based on public securitizations issued during the same time frame. Observable inputs are used by obtaining active prices based on the securitization debt issued during the same time frame. These observable inputs are then used to create expected market prices (unobservable inputs), which are then applied to the debt classes in order to estimate fair value which would approximate market value.
Secured Debt
The revolving credit facilities have revolving periods ranging from one to two years. At the end of the revolving period, if the facilities are not renewed, the debt will amortize over periods ranging up to seven years. Most of the secured debt was issued by VIEs and it is repayable only from proceeds related to the underlying pledged finance receivables and leases. Refer to Note 6 for additional information relating to GM Financial's involvement with VIEs. Weightedaverage interest rates are both fixed and variable, ranging from 0.7% to 12.6% at March 31, 2014.
Securitization notes payable represents debt issued by GM Financial through securitization transactions. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 GM Financial issued securitization notes payable of $2.8 billion with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.3% maturing on various dates through 2022.
Unsecured Debt
Senior notes outstanding at March 31, 2014 are due beginning in 2016 through 2023 and have interest rates that range from 2.75% to 6.75%.
The maturity dates of bank lines range up to four years. If not renewed, any balance outstanding under these bank lines is either immediately due in full or else will amortize over a defined period. Interest rates on unsecured bank lines ranged from 1.0% to 13.9% at March 31, 2014.

In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we recorded charges of approximately $1.3 billion comprising: (1) approximately $680 million for 2.6 million vehicles to repair ignition switches that could result in a loss of electrical power under certain circumstances that may prevent front airbags from deploying in the event of a crash; to fix ignition lock cylinders that could allow removal of the ignition key while the engine is running, leading to possible rollaway or crash; and to provide courtesy transportation to owners of affected vehicles; (2) approximately $340 million for 1.9 million vehicles to replace either the power steering motor, the steering column, the power steering motor control unit or a combination of the steering column and the power steering motor control unit as the electric power steering could fail under certain circumstances; (3) approximately $185 million for 1.3 million

Guarantees
We provide payment guarantees on commercial loans outstanding with third parties such as dealers or rental car companies. We determined the fair value ascribed to the guarantees at inception and subsequent to inception to be insignificant based on the credit worthiness of the third parties. In March 2014 a new agreement was signed with Ally that removed the repurchase obligation for vehicles invoiced after December 31, 2013. The existing repurchase obligation for vehicles invoiced prior to December 31, 2013 is maintained until December 31, 2014 at which time repurchase obligations will expire for all vehicles.
We have agreements with third parties that guarantee the fulfillment of certain suppliers' commitments and other obligations. These guarantees expire in 2014 through 2016 or are ongoing, or upon the occurrence of specific events.
15
Table of Contents

In some instances certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the cost of the guarantee. The offset
of certain of our payables to guaranteed parties may also offset certain guarantees, if triggered. If vehicles are required to be repurchased under vehicle
repurchase obligations, the total exposure would be reduced to the extent vehicles are able to be resold to another dealer.
In connection with certain divestitures of assets or operating businesses, we have entered into agreements indemnifying certain buyers and other parties with respect to environmental conditions and other closure costs pertaining to real property we owned. We periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions in the normal course of business. It is not possible to estimate our maximum exposure under these indemnifications or guarantees due to the conditional nature of these obligations. Insignificant amounts have been recorded for such obligations as the majority of them are not probable or estimable at this time and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.
In addition to the guarantees and indemnifying agreements previously discussed, we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims as subsequently discussed.
With respect to other product-related claims involving products manufactured by certain joint ventures, we believe that costs incurred are adequately covered by recorded accruals. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2020 to 2027.
Other Litigation-Related Liability and Tax Administrative Matters

Various legal actions, governmental investigations, claims and proceedings are pending against us including matters arising out of alleged product defects; employment-related matters; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions and fuel economy; product warranties; financial services; dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships; tax-related matters not recorded pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, "Income Taxes" (indirect taxrelated matters) and environmental matters.
With regard to the litigation matters discussed in the previous paragraph, reserves have been established for matters in which we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the majority of which are associated with indirect tax-related matters as well as non-U.S. labor-related matters. Indirect tax-related matters are being litigated globally pertaining to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales, property taxes and other non-income tax related tax exposures. The various non-U.S. labor-related matters include claims from current and former employees related to alleged unpaid wage, benefit, severance and other compensation matters. Certain South American administrative proceedings are indirect tax-related and may require that we deposit funds in escrow. Escrow deposits may range from $500 million to $800 million . Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive or other treble damage claims, environmental remediation programs or sanctions that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 31, 2014 . We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. Reserves for litigation losses are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. Litigation is inherently unpredictable however; and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly it is possible that an adverse outcome from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Proceedings Related to Ignition Switch Recall

In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we announced a recall to repair ignition switches that under certain circumstances could unintentionally move from the run position to the accessory or off position with a corresponding loss of power, which in turn may prevent front airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. The recall includes approximately 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Pontiac G5, Pursuit, Solstice, and Saturn ION and Sky vehicles.
Through April 22, 2014 we are aware of 5 5 putative class actions have been filed against GM in various U.S. District Courts since the recall
announcement alleging that consumers have been economically harmed by the recall and/or the underlying vehicle condition. In the aggregate, these cases seek recovery for compensatory damages, including for alleged diminution in value of the vehicles, punitive damages and injunctive and other relief. Additionally, through April 22, 2014 , five putative class actions have been filed in various Provincial Courts in Canada seeking similar relief.
On March 21, 2014 a putative shareholder class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against GM and various current and former officers of GM (Pio v. General Motors Company et al) on behalf of purchasers of GM securities from November 17, 2010 through March 10, 2014. The complaint alleges that defendants made material
16
Table of Contents
misstatements and omissions relating to problems with the ignition switch in SEC filings. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages, interest and attorneys fees and costs.
On March 28, 2014 a shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against certain current and former GM directors ( Hockstein v. Barra et al). The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty by GMs directors in connection with monitoring, remediation and disclosure of the issues underlying the ignition switch recall. On April 9, 2014 a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the Circuit Court for Wayne County Michigan against the same defendants ( Bekkerman v. Barra et al). This complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty by GMs directors in connection with monitoring, remediation and disclosure of the issues underlying the ignition switch recall. The plaintiffs in both these cases seek to recover on behalf of GM amounts spent by GM as a result of the defendants alleged failure to timely identify and correct the ignition switch defect and of the alleged failure to make accurate and timely public disclosure. On April 16, 2014 a third shareholder derivative action was filed in the Circuit Court for Wayne County Michigan against current and certain former directors (Wietschiner et al v. Barra et al) alleging bre ach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by reason of failure to exercise oversight with respect to vehicle safety generally and in connection with the ignition switch recall specifically. Plaintiffs seek damages caused by the alleged breaches and an order compelling implementation of various policies and corporate governance practices. On April 23, 2014 a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against certain current and former GM directors ( The Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Barra et al ). This complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by reason of failure to exercise oversight with respect to vehicle safety generally and in connection with the ignition switch recall specifically. The plaintiffs in this case also seek damages caused by the alleged breaches and an order compelling implementation of various policies and
corporate governance practices.
On or about April 11, 2014 an action was initiated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia alleging a motor vehicle accident on July 22, 2009 involving a 2003 Saturn ION which resulted in catastrophic injuries to the driver ( Alexina H. Van Pelt et al v. General Motors LLC). According to the complaint, the subject accident resulted from the failure of the vehicles ignition switch due to the condition which prompted the ignition switch recall. Plaintiffs further allege that GM intentionally and fraudulently concealed facts relating to the ignition switch from plaintiff, the public and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over a lengthy period. Based on these allegations, the complaint asserts causes of action
based on strict products liability, negligence, breach of implied warranty, fraud and fraudulent concealment, and the Federal and Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, treble damages, punitive damages and attorneys fees and costs.
GM intends to vigorously defend all of these cases.
We are also the subject of various inquiries, investigations, subpoenas and requests for information from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York, Congress, NHTSA, the SEC, and a state attorney general in connection with our recent recalls. We are investigating these matters internally and believe we are cooperating fully with all requests, notwithstanding NHTSAs recent fines for failure to respond. Such investigations could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil and criminal penalties.
We are currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for the lawsuits and investigations because these matters involve significant uncertainties at these early stages. These uncertainties include the legal theory or the nature of the claims as well as the complexity of the facts. Although we cannot estimate a reasonable range of loss based on currently available information, the resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
GM Korea Wage Litigation
Commencing on or about September 29, 2010 current and former hourly employees of GM Korea filed eight separate group actions in the Incheon District Court in Incheon, Korea. The cases, which in aggregate involve more than 10,000 employees, allege that GM Korea failed to include bonuses and certain allowances in its calculation of Ordinary Wages due under the Presidential Decree of the Korean Labor Standards Act. At March 31, 2014 we have an accrual of 24 billion South Korean Won (equivalent to $23 million ) related to these cases. We estimate our reasonably possible loss, as defined by ASC 450, Contingencies, in excess of amounts accrued to be 621 billion South Korean Won (equivalent to $584 million ) at March 31, 2014. We are also party to
litigation with current and former salaried employees over allegations relating to Ordinary Wages regulation. At March 31, 2014 we have identified a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount of our accrual of 171 billion South Korean Won (equivalent to $161 million ). Both the scope of claims asserted and GM Korea's assessment of any or all of the individual claim elements may

change if new information becomes available. These cases are currently pending before various district courts in Korea and the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea.
GMCL Dealers' Claim
On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former GMCL dealers (the Plaintiff Dealers) which had entered into wind-down agreements with GMCL. In May 2009 in the context of the global restructuring of the business and the possibility that GMCL might be required to initiate insolvency proceedings, GMCL offered the Plaintiff Dealers the wind-down agreements to assist with their exit from the GMCL dealer network and to facilitate winding down their operations in an orderly fashion by December 31, 2009 or such other date as GMCL approved but no later than on October 31, 2010. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that the Dealer Sales and Service Agreements were wrongly terminated by GMCL and that GMCL failed to comply with certain disclosure obligations, breached its statutory duty of fair dealing and unlawfully interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers' statutory right to associate in an attempt to coerce the Plaintiff Dealers into accepting the wind-down agreements. The Plaintiff Dealers seek damages and assert that the wind-down agreements are rescindable. The Plaintiff Dealers' initial pleading makes reference to a claim not exceeding Canadian Dollar (CAD) $750 million , without explanation of any specific measure of damages. On March 1, 2011 the court approved certification of a class for the purpose of deciding a number of specifically defined issues including: (1) whether GMCL
breached its obligation of "good faith" in offering the wind-down agreements; (2) whether GMCL interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers' rights of free association; (3) whether GMCL was obligated to provide a disclosure statement and/or disclose more specific information regarding its restructuring plans in connection with proffering the wind-down agreements; and (4) assuming liability, whether the Plaintiff Dealers can recover damages in the aggregate (as opposed to proving individual damages). A number of former dealers have opted out of participation in the litigation, leaving 181 dealers in the certified class. Trial of the
class issues is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2014. The current prospects for liability are uncertain, but because liability is not deemed probable we have no accrual relating to this litigation. We cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in the event of liability as the case presents a
variety of different legal theories, none of which GMCL believes are valid.
UAW Claim
On April 6, 2010 the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (UAW) filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan claiming that we breached an obligation to contribute $450 million to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust. The UAW alleges that we were contractually required to make this contribution. On December 10, 2013 the court granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed the claims asserted by the UAW, holding that the relevant agreement is unambiguous and does not require the payment sought. The UAW has appealed. At this juncture we believe the prospects for liability on the claims asserted in this matter are remote.
Product Liability
With respect to product liability claims involving our and General Motors Corporation products, we believe that any judgment against us for actual damages will be adequately covered by our recorded accruals and, where applicable, excess liability insurance coverage. Although punitive damages are claimed in some of these lawsuits and such claims are inherently unpredictable, accruals incorporate historic experience with these types of claims. In addition we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims including products sold by General Motors Corporation. We monitor actual claims experience and make periodic adjustments to our estimates. In light of recent vehicle recalls it is reasonably possible that our accruals for product liability claims may increase in future periods in material amounts, although we cannot estimate a reasonable range of incremental loss based on currently available information.
Liabilities have been recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes for the expected cost of all known product liability claims plus an estimate of the expected cost for product liability claims that have already been incurred and are expected to be filed in the future for which we are selfinsured.
Environmental Liability
Automotive operations, like operations of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, including laws regulating air emissions, water discharges, waste management and environmental

remediation. Liabilities have been recorded primarily in Other liabilities and deferred income taxes for the expected costs to be paid over the periods of remediation for the applicable sites, which typically range from five to 30 years.
The final outcome of environmental matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Subsequent adjustments to initial estimates are recorded as necessary based upon additional information obtained. In future periods new laws or regulations, advances in remediation technologies and additional information about the ultimate remediation methodology to be used could significantly change our estimates. It is possible that the resolution of one or more environmental matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. At March 31, 2014 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $120 million to $230 million .
Other Matters
Brazil Excise Tax Incentive

In October 2012 the Brazilian government issued a decree which increased an excise tax rate by 30 percentage points, but also provided an offsetting tax incentive that requires participating companies to meet certain criteria, such as local investment and fuel efficiency standards. Participating companies that fail to meet the required criteria are subject to clawback provisions and fines. At March 31, 2014 we believe it is reasonably assured that the program requirements will be met based on the current business model and available technologies.
GME Planned Spending Guarantee

As part of our Opel/Vauxhall restructuring plan agreed to with European labor representatives we committed to achieving specified milestones associated with planned spending from 2011 to 2014 on certain product programs. If we had failed to accomplish the requirements set out under the agreement we would have been required to pay certain amounts up to Euro 265 million for each of those years, and/or interest on those amounts, to our employees. In April 2014 we reached an agreement with the European labor representatives terminating the agreement as all milestones have been or will be met timely in 2014.
India Tavera Emissions Compliance

We determined there was an emissions compliance issue with certain Tavera models produced in India. We self-reported this issue in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to local government authorities and are continuing to cooperate. We developed a solution, and while the issue was not safety related, we voluntarily recalled the vehicles to serve our customers.
Note 11. Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded . The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 income tax benefit of $224 million primarily resulted from tax benefits related to deductions taken for stock investments in non-U.S. affiliates and tax audit settlements. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 income tax expense of $409 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, partially offset by tax benefit related to the U.S. research credit legislated in the three months ended March 31, 2013. We have open tax years from 2005 to 2013 with various significant tax jurisdictions.
Note 12. Restructuring and Other Initiatives

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities. To the extent these programs involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are generally recorded until offers to employees are accepted. If employees are involuntarily terminated, a liability is generally recorded at the communication date. Related charges are recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Automotive selling, general and administrative expense.

The remaining cash payments related to these reserves for restructuring and other initiatives, including temporary layoff benefits of $352 million and $349 million at March 31, 2014 and 2013 for GMNA, primarily relate to postemployment benefits.
GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to our plan to terminate all vehicle and transmission production at our Bochum, Germany facility by the end of 2014. Through March 31, 2014 the active separation programs related to Germany had a total cost of $381 million . We expect to complete these programs in 2014 and incur additional charges of $485 million . In total, 3,740 employees will be affected by these programs.
GMIO recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates for separation programs in Australia, Korea and Chevrolet Europe locations. Through March 31, 2014 the separation programs related to Australia, Korea and Chevrolet Europe locations had a total cost of $363 million and had affected a total of 3,350 employees. We expect to complete these programs in 2017 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of $540 million .
GMSA recorded charges, interest accretion and other primarily for active separation programs in Brazil and Venezuela. Through March 31, 2014 the active separation programs related to Brazil and Venezuela had a total cost of $149 million .
GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to cash severance incentive programs for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees.
GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other for previously announced separation and early retirement programs. Through March 31, 2013 the active separation programs related to Germany and the United Kingdom had a total cost of $82 million and had affected a total of 550 employees.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities that are outstanding.
The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except for per share amounts):

Includes earned but undeclared dividends of $15 million and $26 million on our Series A Preferred Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and $20 million on our Series B Preferred Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Our Series B Preferred Stock was a participating security that required the application of the more dilutive of the two-class or if-converted method to
calculate earnings per share when the applicable market value of our common stock was below or above the range of $33.00 to $39.60 per common share. We were required to use the if-converted method to calculate earnings per share when the applicable market value of our common stock was within this range. The
applicable market value of our common stock is the average closing prices over the 40 consecutive trading day period ending on the third trading day
immediately preceding the reporting period end date. Under the two-class method, which we applied in the three-months ended March 31, 2013, undistributed earnings were allocated to common stock and the Series B Preferred Stock according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed, resulting in a lower basic and diluted earnings per share amount.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 warrants to purchase 46 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.
Note 15. Segment Reporting
22
Table of Contents

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GMNA, GME, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive segments through Income (loss) before interest and income taxes, as adjusted for additional amounts, which is presented net of noncontrolling interests, and evaluates GM Financial through income before income taxes, as adjusted for additional amounts. Each segment has a manager responsible for executing our strategies. Our automotive manufacturing operations are integrated within the segments, benefit from broad-based trade agreements and are subject to regulatory requirements, such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations. While not all vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully allocated cost basis, those vehicles are needed in our product mix in order to attract customers to dealer showrooms and to maintain sales volumes for other, more profitable vehicles. Because of these and other factors, we do not manage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis.
Substantially all of the cars, trucks and parts produced are marketed through retail dealers in North America, and through distributors and dealers outside of North America, the substantial majority of which are independently owned.
In addition to the products sold to dealers for consumer retail sales, cars and trucks are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Sales to fleet customers are completed through the network of dealers and in some cases sold directly to fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range of aftersale vehicle services and products through the dealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle accessories and extended service warranties.
GMNA primarily meets the demands of customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:
Buick
Cadillac
Chevrolet
GMC
The demands of customers outside of North America are primarily met with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following brands:
Buick Cadillac
Chevrolet GMC
Holden Opel
Vauxhall
At March 31, 2014 we also had equity ownership stakes directly or indirectly in entities through various regional subsidiaries, primarily in Asia. These companies design, manufacture and market vehicles under the following brands:
Alpheon Baojun
Buick Cadillac
Chevrolet Jiefang
Wuling
Our automotive operations' interest income and interest expense are recorded centrally in Corporate. All intersegment balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Basis of Presentation
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we changed our managerial and financial reporting structure to reclassify the results of our Russian subsidiaries previously reported in our GMIO segment to our GME segment. We have retrospectively revised the segment presentation for all periods presented.
Wholesale vehicle sales data, which represents sales directly to dealers and others, is the measure that correlates vehicle sales to our revenue from the sale of vehicles, which is the largest component of automotive Net sales and revenue. Wholesale vehicle sales exclude vehicles produced by unconsolidated joint ventures. Retail vehicle sales data, which represents estimated sales to the end customer, including fleets, does not correlate directly to the revenue we recognize during the period. However, retail vehicle sales data is indicative of the underlying demand for our vehicles, is the basis for our market share, and is based upon the good faith estimates of management and includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on the percentage of ownership in the joint venture. Market share information is based primarily on retail vehicle sales volume, but estimates may be used where retail vehicle sales volume is not available.
Overview
Automotive
Our vision is to design, build and sell the world's best vehicles. We offer a global vehicle portfolio of cars, crossovers and trucks. We are committed to leadership in vehicle design, quality, reliability, telematics and infotainment and safety, as well as to developing key energy efficiency and diversity and advanced propulsion technologies, including electric vehicles. Our business is diversified across products and geographic markets. We meet the local sales and service needs of our retail and fleet customers with a global network of independent dealers. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, 52.5% of our
wholesale vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S.
Even though our Net income decreased from $1.2 billion to $0.3 billion , we had strong financial results in the three months ended March 31, 2014 excluding the impact of recall-related charges. GMNA and our consolidated international operations are consistent with our expectations, while Europe and China are outperforming our expectations. However, we experienced weaker performance in GMSA due to the challenging environment in Venezuela and Brazil.
We analyze the results of our automotive business through our four geographically-based segments:
GMNA
GMNA has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and sales and distribution operations in Central America and the Caribbean. GMNA represented 55.0% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and we had the largest market share, based upon retail vehicle sales, in North America at 16.5%. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 GMNA retail vehicle sales decreased by two percent compared with a year ago. Combined Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac passenger car sales increased two percent. Truck sales, which include pickups, vans and large SUVs, decreased five percent. We achieved record average transaction prices (ATPs) in the United States, according to J.D. Power PIN estimates, due in large measure to a $5,000 year over year increase in full-size pickup ATPs. Pursuant to our plan our mix of crew cab and premium-contented pickup trucks is higher today than a year ago.
Customer safety and satisfaction were the major reasons for the recall of approximately 7 million vehicles announced during the first quarter. These recalls included: (1) approximately 2.6 million vehicles to repair ignition switches that could result in a loss of electrical power under certain circumstances that may prevent front airbags from deploying in the event of a crash and to fix ignition lock cylinders that could allow removal of the ignition key while the engine is running, leading to possible rollaway or crash; (2) approximately 1.9 million vehicles to replace either the power steering motor, the steering column, the power steering motor control unit or a combination of the steering column and the power steering motor control unit as the electric power steering

could fail under certain circumstances; (3) approximately 1.3 million vehicles prone to non-deployment of the side impact restraints if vehicles are not serviced when the Service Air Bag warning light is illuminated; and (4) approximately 1.2 million vehicles for other matters. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we recorded charges of approximately $1.3 billion primarily for the estimated costs of parts and labor to repair these vehicles and for courtesy transportation. Although it is still early, it appears we have not experienced a meaningful impact to our Net sales and revenue as a result of our recent recall actions. We began repairing vehicles in early April and consistent with our recent communication to NHTSA, our plan is to produce enough repair parts by October 2014 to have the ability to repair the majority of vehicles impacted by the ignition switch and ignition cylinder recalls. Refer to the "GM North America" section of MD&A for additional information on all of the recalls we announced in 2014.
Customer safety and satisfaction remain high priorities for us. Our Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands all rank in the top five of all automotive brands in the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Customer Service Index with Cadillac and Buick taking the top spots in their respective categories. In addition two of our vehicle models were the only midsize SUVs to earn 2014 Top Safety Pick+ ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
GME
GME has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations across Eastern, Western and Central Europe including Russia and the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States. GME's wholesale vehicle sales volume represented 19.8% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2014. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we estimate we had the number four market share, based upon retail vehicle sales, in Europe at 7.3%. Our European operations continue to show signs of improvement underscored by our first Opel and Vauxhall market share increase in 14 years in 2013. This market share increase was partially driven by the successful launches of the Opel Mokka, ADAM and Cascada during 2013.
In an effort to rationalize our manufacturing footprint in GME we reached agreement with the labor union in Germany to terminate all vehicle and transmission production at our Bochum, Germany facility by the end of 2014. Affected employees will be eligible for a voluntary restructuring separation program. Restructuring charges will be recorded primarily through 2014. Refer to Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Due to the recent deterioration in the Russian Ruble, along with other market factors, we are currently strategically assessing our Russian operations. Should further deterioration in the outlook for the market or the finalization of the strategic reviews and related recommended actions affect our ability to generate sufficient cash flows we may be required to test certain long-lived assets for recoverability. The estimate of charges, if any, is subject to significant uncertainty and highly dependent on decisions not yet taken.
GMIO
We continue to strategically assess our performance and the manner in which we operate in certain countries which may require us to test certain long-lived assets for recoverability in the near term. The estimate of charges, if any, is subject to significant uncertainty and highly dependent on finalization of our strategic assessments.
GMIO has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in Asia/Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. GMIO represented 11.0% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region is our largest region by retail vehicle sales volume and represented 46.5% of our global retail vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2014. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we estimate we had the number two market share, based upon retail vehicle sales, in Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa at 10.0%. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we estimate we had market share of 15.2% in China and sold 919,000 vehicles, a 12.6% increase over the comparable period last year.
GMSA
GMSA has sales, manufacturing, distribution and/or financing operations in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela as well as sales and distribution operations in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.

Reconciliation of Consolidated, Automotive and GM Financial Segment Results
Non-GAAP Measures
Management believes earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our automotive segments' operating results because it excludes interest income, interest expense and income taxes as well as certain additional adjustments. Management believes income before income taxes-adjusted provides meaningful supplemental information regarding GM Financial's operating results. GM Financial uses a separate measure from our automotive operations because management believes interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring
the operational and financial performance of the segment. Examples of adjustments to EBIT and GM Financial's income before income taxes include impairment charges related to goodwill, other long-lived assets under certain circumstances and certain investments; gains or losses on the
settlement/extinguishment of obligations; and gains or losses on the sale of non-core investments.
Management believes free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the liquidity of our automotive operations and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow above those required in our business to sustain our operations. We measure free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We measure adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow adjusted for management actions, primarily related to strengthening our balance sheet, such as accrued interest on prepayments of debt and voluntary contributions to employee benefit plans.
Management believes these measures allow it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in allowing for greater transparency of our core operations and are therefore used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Management does not consider the excluded items when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization, its management teams and when making decisions to allocate resources, such as capital investment, among business units and for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes.
While management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information, they are not operating measures under U.S. GAAP and there are limitations associated with their use. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as Net income, Income before income taxes or operating cash flow. Due to these limitations, these non-GAAP measures are used as supplements to U.S. GAAP measures.

Recall Campaigns
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we experienced a significant increase in the number of vehicles subject to recall in North America resulting in incremental charges for the estimated costs of parts and labor to repair these vehicles and courtesy transportation for certain recalls. Currently there are approximately 7 million vehicles subject to recalls announced during this period. This reflects the results of our ongoing comprehensive safety review,
additional engineering analysis and our overall commitment to customer satisfaction.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we announced a recall to repair ignition switches in vehicles that we are no longer producing that under certain circumstances could result in a loss of electrical power that may prevent front airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. It was originally estimated that approximately 800,000 vehicles were equipped with ignition switches needing repair. These vehicles include model years 20052007 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007 Pontiac G5 and 20052006 Pursuit. In the three months ended December 31, 2013 we recorded approximately $40 million in Automotive cost of sales to cover the repairs as these costs were considered probable and estimable at that time. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we expanded this recall by approximately 1.8 million additional vehicles for the same issue. These vehicles, consisting of model years 20082010 Chevrolet Cobalt, model years 2006 2011 HHR, model years 20082010 Pontiac G5, model years 20062010 Solstice, model years 20032007 Saturn ION and model years 20072010 Sky, were not included in the initial recall. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we recorded approximately $90 million in Automotive cost of sales to repair these vehicles and approximately $270 million in Automotive cost of sales to provide courtesy transportation to owners of affected vehicles. These recalls, relating to ignition switches, are collectively referred to as the Ignition Switch Recall. Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for litigation associated with the Ignition Switch Recall. A second repair was added to these vehicles as a result of the comprehensive review described below to fix ignition lock cylinders that could allow removal of the ignition key while the engine is running, leading to possible rollaway or crash. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we recorded approximately $320 million in Automotive cost of sales to repair ignition lock cylinders.
As a result of the Ignition Switch Recall senior leadership initiated a comprehensive review and engineering analysis to identify any additional issues which could potentially result in safety or satisfaction concerns for our customers. As part of our normal process and a result of these reviews we announced the following additional recall campaigns in the three months ended March 31, 2014:
Approximately 1.9 million vehicles were recalled to replace either the power steering motor, the steering column, the power steering motor control unit or a combination of the steering column and the power steering motor control unit as the electric power steering could fail under certain circumstances model years 20042006, 20082009 Chevrolet Malibu, model years 20042006 Malibu Maxx, model years 20062010 HHR, model years 2005 2010 Cobalt, model years 20082009 Saturn Aura, model years 20032007 ION, model years 20072010 Pontiac G5, model years 20052006, 20082009 G6 and model years 20052006 Pursuit and G4. We recorded approximately $340 million in Automotive cost of sales to repair these vehicles.
Approximately 1.3 million vehicles were recalled that are prone to non-deployment of the side impact restraints if vehicles are not serviced when the
Service Air Bag warning light is illuminated model years 20082013 Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia, model years 20092013 Chevrolet Traverse and model years 20082010 Saturn Outlook. We recorded approximately $185 million in Automotive cost of sales to repair these vehicles.
Approximately 1.2 million vehicles were recalled for other matters certain model years 20092014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana, model years 20112014 Chevrolet Cruze, model year 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 and model year 2015 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade. We recorded approximately $70 million in Automotive cost of sales to repair these vehicles.

In total we recorded approximately $1.3 billion for the above-described actions in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The following table summarizes the activity for customer satisfaction campaigns, safety recalls, non-compliance recalls and special coverage in GMNA, including courtesy transportation (dollars in millions):

Based on the per vehicle part and labor cost, number of vehicles impacted and the expected number of vehicles to be repaired we believe the amounts
recorded are adequate to cover the costs of these recall campaigns.
In response to these developments we are conducting an in-depth review of the Ignition Switch Recall and our overall recall processes. We hired a former U.S. Attorney to conduct an internal investigation of the Ignition Switch Recall and to provide recommendations to improve our recall processes. One measure we have taken in connection with this recall is the creation and appointment of a new Global Vice President of Vehicle Safety. This executive is responsible for the safety development of our vehicle systems, confirmation and validation of safety performance, as well as post-sale safety activities, including recalls. We also created a new Global Product Integrity organization within Global Product Development with the goal of executing the highest levels of safety performance across all of our vehicles. We hired an external consultant to explore and evaluate options in our response to accidents involving the Ignition Switch Recall vehicles. The result of this review could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We are also actively engaging customers and servicing vehicles affected by the Ignition Switch Recall. We are in the process of notifying affected customers to schedule an appointment with their dealers as replacement parts are available. We began repairing vehicles in early April using parts that have undergone a 100 percent end-of-line quality inspection. Consistent with our recent communication to NHTSA, our plan is to produce enough repair parts by October 2014 to have the ability to repair the majority of vehicles impacted by the ignition switch and ignition cylinder recalls.
The Ignition Switch Recall has led to various governmental investigations and inquiries including a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and investigations by the NHTSA, Congress and the SEC. In addition, the Ignition Switch Recall and the other recalls described above have resulted in a number of claims and lawsuits. Refer to Item 1. Legal Proceedings for additional information.
GM Europe
During the second half of 2011 and continuing through 2013, the European automotive industry was severely affected by the ongoing sovereign debt crisis, high unemployment and a lack of consumer confidence coupled with overcapacity. European automotive industry sales to retail and fleet customers began to improve in the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the corresponding period in 2012. This trend continued with industry sales to retail and fleet customers of 5 million vehicles in the three months ended March 31, 2014 representing a 5.1% increase compared to the corresponding period in 2013.
Outlook
We are continuing to implement various strategic actions to strengthen our operations and increase our competitiveness. The key actions include investments
in our product portfolio, a revised brand strategy, significant management changes and reducing material, development and production costs, including restructuring activities. The success of these actions will depend on a combination of our ability to execute and external factors which are outside of our control. Despite recent positive industry trends, we do not expect the European automotive industry to improve significantly in the near term; however, we
expect to break even in GME by mid-decade.

GM International Operations
We are addressing many of the challenges in our GMIO operations and have strategically assessed the manner in which we operate in certain countries within GMIO, including our cost structure, the level of local sourcing, the level of investment in the product portfolio, the allocation of production activity to the existing manufacturing base and our brand strategy. These strategic reviews considered the effects that recent and forecasted deterioration in local market conditions would have on our operations. While we are continuing our strategic assessments, we have taken certain actions and incurred impairment and other charges in 2013.
Focus on Chinese Market

We view the Chinese market as important to our global growth strategy and are employing a multi-brand strategy, led by our Buick and Chevrolet brands. In the coming years, we plan to increasingly leverage our global architectures to increase the number of nameplates under the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac brands in China and continue to grow our business under the Baojun, Jiefang and Wuling brands. We operate in the Chinese market through a number of joint ventures and maintaining good relations with our joint venture partners, which are affiliated with the Chinese government, is an important part of our China growth strategy.

GMIO Total Net Sales and Revenue

The vehicle sales of our China JVs are not reflected in Total net sales and revenue. The results of our joint ventures are recorded in Equity income. Our investment in China JVs increased by $0.6 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of our share in China JVs earnings.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 Total net sales and revenue decreased due primarily to: (1) decreased wholesale volumes primarily in the Middle East and Chevrolet brand vehicles in Europe; and (2) Other of $0.2 billion due primarily to unfavorable net foreign currency effect due to the weakening of the Australian Dollar, South Africa Rand and the Thai Baht against the U.S. Dollar.
GMIO EBIT-Adjusted
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 EBIT-adjusted decreased due primarily to: (1) unfavorable net wholesale volumes; and (2) unfavorable net vehicle mix; partially offset by (3) Other of $0.2 billion due primarily to favorable manufacturing costs and depreciation.
GM South America
Venezuelan Operations
Our Venezuelan subsidiaries functional currency is the U.S. Dollar because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy.
Effective February 13, 2013 the Venezuelan government set the official fixed exchange rate of the BsF at BsF 6.3 to $1.00 from BsF 4.3 to $1.00. The devaluation resulted in a charge of $0.2 billion recorded in Automotive cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from the remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiaries' non-U.S. Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The remeasurement charge was treated as an adjustment for EBITadjusted reporting purposes.
Effective March 31, 2014 we changed the exchange rate we use for remeasuring our Venezuelan subsidiaries non-U.S. Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities from the Venezuela official exchange rate to the rate determined by an auction process conducted by Venezuelas SICAD I. At March 31, 2014 the SICAD I exchange rate was BsF 10.7 to $1.00. The devaluation resulted in a charge of $0.4 billion recorded in Automotive cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2014. We changed the exchange rate we use because we believe the SICAD I rate is the most representative rate to be used for remeasurement, as the official rate will increasingly be reserved only for the settlement of U.S. Dollar denominated obligations related to the purchases of essential goods and services and future dividends will likely not be paid at the official rate. However, to date, we have not transacted at the SICAD I rate. The non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets and liabilities of our Venezuelan subsidiaries may be impacted by periodic auctions in SICAD I rates which may have a material impact to the results of operations in Venezuela in future quarters. The remeasurement charge was treated as an adjustment for EBIT-adjusted reporting purposes.
We believe it is possible that the Venezuelan government may further devalue the official exchange rate of BsF against the U.S. Dollar in the future. If the BsF were further devalued from the SICAD I exchange rate of BSF 10.7 to $1.00, it would result in a charge to our income statement in the period of
devaluation. Based on our March 31, 2014 net monetary assets, a charge of approximately $0.1 billion would result for every 10% devaluation of the BsF.

Table of Contents
The Venezuelan government has foreign exchange control regulations that make it difficult to convert BsF to U.S. Dollar which affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations and to pay dividends. The total amounts pending government approval for settlement in U.S. Dollar at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were BsF 3.9 billion (equivalent to $0.6 billion) and BsF 3.7 billion (equivalent to $0.6 billion). These amounts include requests in the amount of BsF 0.6 billion (equivalent to $0.1 billion) that have been pending from 2007. Our Venezuelan subsidiaries' net assets were $0.5 billion at March 31, 2014, including net monetary assets of $0.6 billion. At March 31, 2014 other consolidated entities had receivables from our Venezuelan subsidiaries denominated in other currencies of $0.4 billion.
In January 2014 the Venezuela government enacted a law limiting sale prices and establishing a maximum margin of 30% above a defined cost structure. At this time it is unclear based on the current regulations how this new law may affect our current vehicle and parts and accessories sale pricing structure. These regulations, when considered with foreign exchange process, other governmental policies impacting labor force reductions and other circumstances in Venezuela, may impact our ability to fully benefit from and maintain our controlling financial interest in our Venezuelan subsidiaries. The financial impact on our operations in Venezuela of these events and associated ongoing restrictions are uncertain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview
We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under our secured revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. However we expect to have substantial cash requirements going forward which we plan to fund through total available liquidity and cash flows generated from operations. We also maintain access to the capital markets, which may provide an additional source of liquidity. Our future uses of cash, which may vary from time to time based on market conditions and other factors, are centered around three objectives: (1) reinvest in our business; (2) continue to strengthen our balance sheet and competitive position; and (3) return cash to shareholders. Our known future material uses of cash include, among other possible demands: (1) capital expenditures of approximately $7.5 billion annually as well as engineering and product development activities; (2) payments associated with recently announced vehicle recalls; (3) payments for previously announced restructuring activities; (4) acquiring Ally Financial's equity interests in GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited for approximately $0.9 billion; (5) payments to service debt and other long-term obligations; (6) payments to purchase the remaining outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock with a liquidation amount of $3.9 billion once the shares become redeemable on or after December 31, 2014; and (7) dividend payments on our common and preferred stock that are declared by our Board of Directors.
Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the Risk Factors section of our 2013 Form 10-K, some of which are outside our control. Macroeconomic conditions could limit our ability to successfully execute our business plans and therefore adversely affect our liquidity plans.
We continue to monitor and evaluate opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet and competitive position over the long-term. These actions may include opportunistic payments to reduce our long-term obligations while maintaining minimal financial leverage as well as the possibility of acquisitions, dispositions and strategic alliances that we believe would generate significant advantages and substantially strengthen our business. These actions may include additional
loans, investments with our joint venture partners or the acquisitions of certain operations or ownership stakes in outside businesses. These actions may
negatively impact our liquidity in the short-term including the payments related to our recent recalls and the related litigation.

Available Liquidity
37
Table of Contents
Total available liquidity includes cash, cash equivalents, current marketable securities and funds available under credit facilities. At March 31, 2014 our available liquidity was $37.4 billion , including funds available under credit facilities of $10.4 billion . The amount of available liquidity is subject to intramonth and seasonal fluctuations and includes balances held by various business units and subsidiaries worldwide that are needed to fund their operations.
We manage our liquidity primarily at our treasury centers as well as at certain of our significant consolidated overseas subsidiaries. Available liquidity held within North America and at our regional treasury centers represented approximately 86% of our available liquidity at March 31, 2014. A portion of our available liquidity includes amounts deemed indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. We have used and will continue to use other methods including intercompany loans to utilize these funds across our global operations as needed.
Our cash equivalents and marketable securities balances include investments in U.S. government and agency obligations, foreign government securities, time deposits and corporate debt securities, and are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our investment guidelines, which we may change from time to time, prescribe certain minimum credit worthiness thresholds and limit our exposures to any particular sector, asset class, issuance or security type. Substantially all of our current investments in debt securities are with A/A2 or better rated issuers.
We use credit facilities as a mechanism to provide additional flexibility in managing our global liquidity and to fund working capital needs at certain of our subsidiaries. The total size of our credit facilities was $11.1 billion and $11.2 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Our primary borrowing capacity under credit facilities comes from our secured revolving credit facilities consisting of a three-year $5.5 billion facility maturing in 2015 and a fiveyear, $5.5 billion facility maturing in 2017. We have not borrowed against these facilities, but have amounts in use under the letter of credit sub-facility of $0.6 billion . GM Financial has the access to the three-year facility, but has not borrowed against it.

Guarantees Provided to Third Parties

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of operating leases, certain suppliers' commitments, certain product-related claims and third party commercial loans and other obligations. The maximum potential obligation under these commitments was $10.7 billion and $16.9 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 .
Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on guarantees we have provided.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Estimates
General The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from the original estimates requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. The critical accounting estimates that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described in the MD&A section in our 2013 Form 10-K, as supplemented by the subsequent discussion of Policy, Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns.
Policy, Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns
The estimated costs related to policy and product warranties are accrued at the time products are sold. Estimated costs related to product recalls based on a formal campaign soliciting return of that product are accrued when they are deemed to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of claims of each vehicle line or each model year of the vehicle line and assumptions about future activity and events. When little or no claims experience exists for a model year or a vehicle line, the estimate is based on comparable models. These estimates are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis and based on the best available information, revisions are made when necessary. We consider trends of claims and take action to improve vehicle quality and minimize claims. Depending on part availability and time to complete repairs we may, from time-to-time, offer courtesy transportation at no cost to our customers.
The estimated cost of a recall campaign is based on the per unit part and labor cost, number of units impacted and the assumed number of vehicles that will be brought in by customers for repair (take rate), with the overall accrued amount being most sensitive to our estimated assumed take rate that is primarily developed based on our historical take-rate experience. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we recorded a charge of $1.3 billion for the estimated cost of recall campaigns. A 10% increase in the estimated take rate would increase the estimated cost by approximately $100 million. We believe the amounts recorded are adequate to cover the costs of these recall campaigns.
Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to these liabilities in future periods. Due to the uncertainty and potential volatility of the factors contributing to developing estimates, changes in our assumptions could materially affect our results of operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
In this report and in reports we subsequently file and have previously filed with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and file or furnish on Form 8-K, and in related comments by our management, we use words like anticipate, appears, approximately, believe, continue, could, designed, effect, estimate, evaluate, expect, forecast, goal, initiative, intend, may, objective, outlook, plan, potential, priorities, project, pursue, seek, should, target, when, would, or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. In making these statements we rely on assumptions and analyses based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative. These factors, which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K, include among others the following:

Our ability to realize production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as a result of our restructuring initiatives and labor modifications;
Our ability to maintain quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls and the cost and effect on our reputation and products;
Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources including as required to fund our planned significant investment in new technology;

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The discussion in the following paragraphs describe material legal proceedings that arose in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Refer to our 2013 Form 10-K for a full description of our material pending legal proceedings.
Proceedings Related to Ignition Switch Recall

In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we announced a recall to repair ignition switches that under certain circumstances could unintentionally move from the run position to the accessory or off position with a corresponding loss of power, which in turn may prevent front airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. The recall includes approximately 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Pontiac G5, Pursuit, Solstice, and Saturn ION and Sky vehicles. Refer to the Recall Campaigns section of MD&A for additional information.
Through April 22, 2014 we are aware of 5 5 putative class actions have been filed against GM in various U.S. District Courts since the recall
announcement alleging that consumers have been economically harmed by the recall and/or the underlying vehicle condition. In the aggregate, these cases seek recovery for compensatory damages, including for alleged diminution in value of the vehicles, punitive damages and injunctive and other relief. Additionally, through April 22, 2014 , five putative class actions have been filed in various Provincial Courts in Canada seeking similar relief.
On March 21, 2014 a putative shareholder class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against GM and various current and former officers of GM (Pio v. General Motors Company et al) on behalf of purchasers of GM securities from November 17, 2010 through March 10, 2014. The complaint alleges that defendants made material misstatements and omissions relating to problems with the ignition switch in SEC filings. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages, interest and attorneys fees and costs.
On March 28, 2014 a shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against certain current and former GM directors ( Hockstein v. Barra et al). The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty by GMs directors in connection with monitoring, remediation and disclosure of the issues underlying the ignition switch recall. On April 9, 2014 a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the Circuit Court for Wayne County Michigan against the same defendants ( Bekkerman v. Barra et al). This complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty by GMs directors in connection with monitoring, remediation and disclosure of the issues underlying the ignition switch recall. The plaintiffs in both these cases seek to recover on behalf of GM amounts spent by GM as a result of the defendants alleged failure to timely identify and correct the ignition switch defect and of the alleged failure to make accurate and timely public disclosure. On April 16, 2014 a third shareholder derivative action was filed in the Circuit Court for Wayne County Michigan against current and certain former directors (Wietschiner et al v. Barra et al) alleging breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by reason of failure to exercise oversight with respect to vehicle safety generally and in connection with the ignition switch recall specifically. Plaintiffs seek damages caused by the alleged breaches and an order compelling implementation of various policies and corporate governance practices. On April 23, 2014 a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against certain current and former GM directors ( The Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Barra et al ). This complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by reason of failure to exercise oversight with respect to vehicle safety generally and in connection with the ignition switch recall specifically. The plaintiffs in this case also seek damages caused by the alleged breaches and an order compelling implementation of various policies and
corporate governance practices.
On or about April 11, 2014 an action was initiated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia alleging a motor vehicle accident on July 22, 2009 involving a 2003 Saturn ION which resulted in catastrophic injuries to the driver ( Alexina H. Van Pelt et al v. General Motors LLC). According to the complaint, the subject accident resulted from the failure of the vehicles ignition switch due to the condition which prompted the ignition switch recall. Plaintiffs further allege that GM intentionally and fraudulently concealed facts relating to the ignition switch from plaintiff, the public and the NHTSA over a lengthy period. Based on these allegations, the complaint asserts causes of action based on strict products liability, negligence, breach of implied warranty, fraud and fraudulent concealment, and the Federal and Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Plaintiffs seek
compensatory damages, treble damages, punitive damages, and attorneys fees and costs.
GM intends to vigorously defend all of these cases.
We are also the subject of various inquiries, investigations, subpoenas and requests for information from the U.S. Attorneys

Office for the Southern District of New York, Congress, NHTSA, the SEC, and a state attorney general in connection with our recent recalls. We are
investigating these matters internally and believe we are cooperating fully with all requests, notwithstanding NHTSAs recent fines for failure to respond. Such investigations could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil and criminal penalties.
* * * * * * * Item 1A. Risk Factors

We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with our operations. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the factors subsequently described.
Other than as subsequently discussed, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K. While we describe each risk separately, some of these risks are interrelated and certain risks could trigger the applicability of other risks subsequently described.
The costs and effect on our reputation of product recalls could materially adversely affect our business.
From time to time we recall our products to address performance, compliance or safety-related issues. The costs we incur in connection with these recalls typically include the cost of the part being replaced and labor to remove and replace the defective part and may also include costs of courtesy transportation. Product recalls can harm our reputation and cause us to lose customers, particularly if those recalls cause consumers to question the safety or reliability of our products. Conversely, not issuing a recall or not issuing a recall on a timely basis can harm our reputation and cause us to lose customers. Any costs incurred or lost sales caused by our past or future product recalls could materially adversely affect our business. The Ignition Switch Recall has resulted in government inquiries and private litigation and our sales and reputation could suffer. We are currently facing NHTSA, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Congressional and a state inquiry related to the Ignition Switch Recall, including how it occurred, its consequences and our responses. If we are unable to effectively maintain our reputation as a result of a failure to promptly implement safety measures, such as recalls when necessary, vehicle unit sales and/or sale prices may decrease, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We could be materially adversely affected by a negative outcome in unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations or other legal proceedings.
We are subject to legal proceedings in respect of various issues, including product liability lawsuits, shareholder litigation and governmental investigations, including class actions related to the Ignition Switch Recall, such as a lawsuit for the lost value of cars affected by the Ignition Switch Recall. At this point we are unable to predict the duration, scope, developments in, results of, or consequences of the internal investigations and the government's investigation. Such investigations could in the future result in the imposition of damages, substantial fines, civil and criminal penalties, interruptions of business, modification of business practices, equitable remedies, and other sanctions against us or our personnel. Because the matters are ongoing, there can be no assurance as to how
the resulting consequences, if any, may impact our business, reputation, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. We cannot currently estimate the potential liability, damages or range of potential loss as a result of the legal proceedings and governmental investigations. For a further
discussion of these matters, please see Item 1. Legal Proceedings and Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our ability to maintain profitability over the long-term is dependent upon our ability to introduce new and improved vehicle models that are able to attract a sufficient number of consumers.
Our ability to maintain profitability over the long-term depends on our ability to entice consumers to consider our products when purchasing a new vehicle. The automotive industry, particularly in the U.S., is very competitive with market participants including new participants routinely introducing new and improved vehicle models designed to meet consumer expectations, and in the past our competitors have been very successful in persuading customers that previously purchased our products to purchase their vehicles instead. Producing new and improved vehicle models on a basis competitive with the models introduced by our competitors and preserving our reputation for designing, building and selling safe and high quality cars that meet customer preferences is critical to our long-term profitability. We will launch a substantial number of new vehicles in 2014. A successful launch of our new vehicles is critical to our
short-term profitability.

The pace of our development and introduction of new and improved vehicles depends on our ability to implement successfully improved technological innovations in design, engineering and manufacturing, which requires extensive capital investment and the ability to retain and recruit new talent. In some cases the technologies that we plan to employ, such as hydrogen fuel cells and advanced battery technology, are not yet commercially practical and depend on significant future technological advances by us and by our suppliers. There can be no assurance that our competitors and others pursuing similar technologies and other competing technologies will not acquire similar or superior technologies sooner than we do or on an exclusive basis or at a significant price advantage. If we are unable to achieve these goals, we may not be able to maintain profitability over the long-term.
We are subject to extensive governmental laws, regulations and policies including safety, fuel economy, and greenhouse gas emissions, the enforcement of which or changes to existing ones, may have a significant effect on how we do business.
We are affected significantly by governmental regulations that can increase costs related to the production of our vehicles and affect our product portfolio. We anticipate that the number and extent of these regulations, and the related costs and changes to our product lineup, will increase significantly in the future. In the U.S. and Europe, for example, governmental regulation is driven primarily by concerns about the environment (including greenhouse gas emissions), vehicle safety, fuel economy and energy security. These government regulatory requirements could significantly affect our plans for global product development and may result in substantial costs, including civil penalties. They may also result in limits on the types of vehicles we sell and where we sell them, which can affect revenue.
In the U.S. automotive safety standards are regulated by the NHTSA, whose regulators require that automotive manufacturers implement safety measures such as recalls for vehicles that do not or may not comply with relevant safety standards. Due to these regulations, we could be subject to civil penalties or may incur various costs including significant costs for free repairs, if we are required to, or voluntarily decide to, implement safety measures such as a recall. For example, we are currently facing NHTSA, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Congressional and a state inquiry related to the Ignition Switch Recall that may result in the imposition of fines or other penalties including criminal sanctions.
In the U.S. vehicle fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions are regulated under a harmonized national program administered by the NHTSA and the Environmental Protection Agency. The agencies have set coordinated fuel economy and greenhouse emission standards through the 2025 model year for light duty vehicles and through the 2018 model year for heavy duty trucks. California, which has set its own greenhouse gas emission standards through its AB 1493 Rules, has agreed to accept compliance with the national program as compliance with its state program.
We are committed to meeting or exceeding these U.S. regulatory requirements, and our product plan of record projects compliance with the anticipated national program through the 2021 model year. The standards for the 2022 through 2025 model years may be adjusted as a result of a mid-term review by the agencies. Therefore we believe it is premature to project compliance with possible standards for those years. We expect that to comply with these standards we will be required to sell a significant volume of hybrid electric vehicles, as well as implement new technologies for conventional internal combustion engines, all at increased cost levels. There is no assurance that we will be able to produce and sell vehicles that use such technologies on a profitable basis, or that our customers will purchase such vehicles in the quantities necessary for us to comply with these regulatory programs.
The European Union (EU) passed legislation, effective in April 2009, that began regulating vehicle CO 2 emissions in 2012. The legislation sets a target of a fleet average of 95 grams per kilometer for 2020, with the requirements for each manufacturer based on the weight of the vehicles it sells. Additional measures
have been proposed or adopted in Europe to regulate features such as tire rolling resistance, vehicle air conditioners, tire pressure monitors, gear shift indicators and others. At the national level 17 EU Member States have adopted some form of fuel consumption or carbon dioxide-based vehicle taxation system, which could result in specific market requirements for us to introduce technology earlier than is required for compliance with the EU emissions standards.
Other governments around the world, such as Canada, China, Brazil, Mexico and South Korea are also creating or have new policies to address these same issues. As in the U.S. these government policies could significantly affect our plans for product development. Due to these regulations we could be subject to sizable civil penalties or have to restrict product offerings drastically to remain in compliance. The regulations will result in substantial costs, which could be
difficult to pass through to our customers, and could result in limits on the types of vehicles we sell and where we sell them, which could affect our
operations, including facility closings, reduced employment, increased costs and loss of revenue.
