GM Sends Stop-Delivery Order On Best-Selling Cruze; Shares Down

General Motors GM shares sputtered in after-hours trading after the company sent stop-delivery orders to Chevy dealers nationwide concerning its 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze sedans.

The cars may have airbag problems, according to Automotive News.

GM's latest snafu may hurt sales of the company's top-selling car as dealers mount their end-of-the-month sales push.

Dealers were told to hold the cars until further instructions "in the near future."

A GM spokesman confirmed the stop-delivery order and said the company will have an estimate of how many vehicles are affected and whether a recall is warranted next week, the report said.

At last count, GM has issued 44 recalls this year covering 20 million vehicles.

In Thursday's pre-market session, GM traded at $36.99, down 0.27 percent.
