General Motors (GM) is recalling an additional 717,949 vehicles due to a range of issues, including loose bolts and potentially incomplete welding on some seat hooks.

The carmaker has recalled nearly 29 million vehicles this year, most due to faulty ignition switches.

The recall-related repairs are expected to cost GM $1.2bn (£700m).

GM was criticised for reacting too late to the switch issue, but said it was "enhancing" its approach to safety.

"We are bringing greater rigor and discipline to our analysis and decision making," Jeff Boyer, vice president global vehicle safety at GM, said in a statement.

"If we identify an issue - large or small - that might affect the safety of our customers, we will act decisively."
