DETROIT (AP) -- General Motors is recalling more than 60,000 vehicles in North America, the latest round of recalls this year for the automaker.<br />
<br />
The company outlined three new recalls Saturday, the biggest of which affects 46,873 vehicles in the U.S.<br />
<br />
The recalls are Pontiac G8s from the 2008 through the 2009 model years and 2011-2013 model Chevrolet Caprice PPV left-hand-drive sedans imported from Australia.<br />
<br />
The ignition switch key may shift from the "run" position when touched by the driver's knee, GM said.<br />
<br />
The company is aware of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries.<br />
<br />
Another U.S. recall covers over 10,005 Cadillac CTS-V sedans from the 2004-2007 model years and 2006-2007 model Cadillac STS-Vs.<br />
<br />
On some vehicles, the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat, causing the flange material to melt, GM said.<br />
<br />
That can lead to a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a stall and fire, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<br />
<br />
GM said it knows of no crashes or injuries related to the problem.<br />
<br />
The automaker also issued a recall for 304 of the 2014 model-year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S., saying the vehicles may have a loose electrical connection in the steering column that could affect the performance of the driver-side air bag.<br />
<br />
GM is not aware of any crashes, injuries related to the potential malfunction.<br />
<br />
All told, the latest recalls included 57,182 vehicles in the U.S. and 60,575 in North America.<br />
<br />
GM's safety problems began earlier this year with the recall of 2.6 million small cars with faulty ignition switches.<br />
<br />
The problem caused crashes that are responsible for at least 23 deaths. GM has admitted knowing about the problem for more than a decade yet it failed to recall the cars until February of this year.
