Reporter susan hogan with more on this. As we were to first report online earlier today, General Motors is offering a free fix to thousands of vehicles, this is a direct result of a federal investigation into whether the car maker went far enough with its initial recalls more than two years ago. The investigation comes after an additional 128 gm owners complained to the national highway traffic and Safety Administration that their headlights failed, but their vehicles were not part of the recall. In one complaint the owner of a 2007 chevy trail blazer says he was almost killed when the low beam headlight went out while driving at night but the recall does not include his vehicle. The owner of a 2006 buck lacrosse said our headlights quick working and even the make, model and year of their car was included, their vin number was not in april, was called a recall query. To set the scope of the initial recalls. Looking into the possibility that another 317,000 more vehicles may be recalled in a statement to news4, general motor spokesperson tells us we are cooperating fully with nhtsa and the query of the headlight driver modules and will provide field data and other information to help determine whether the recall population should be expanded. In the meantime, gm is extending coverage for the modules on vehicles outside the recall to 12 years or 150,000 miles. Now we have a complete list of the newly effected vehicles right now on the nbc washington app just search gm recall. Guys .

Lets be honest here, your grandmother may not approve of some of the things he says but barbara says he was on his best behavior. If you dont have something nice to say, say it any way. Thats what he does and folks by the millions keep coming back even celebrities, especially celebrities. If i can get on the radio and express my opinion about people and say what i want about people, i have to allow them a chance to rebuttal and i think thats why a lot of people dont mind coming because they know im not trying to be malicious. They know im just really stating my opinion. As a star of the Breakfast Club for nationally sin deindicated power 105. 1 in moshing, charlamagne has become the guy who tells it like it is or at least the way he sees it. Some people are just lame and dont even know it. He likes to call people out, especially on current issues, like what he sees as a resurgence of white supremacy. Its at the forefront.

His name charlamagne grew out of an effort to hide his efforts to sell drugs from his parents. The crack heads would roll up and see me my name was like larry. Your larrys son. I didnt want my mother or father to know what im doing. He was also an a individual reader. I was reading a history book and i just saw that charlamagne was french for charles the great and really cool. Im going to start calling myself charlamagne. And its that name making news as an author of a book he calls black privilege. Not everybody can have a book come out in the top ten. God is good. How do you explain that . Thats an interesting question. For me its one of those things where i really just wanted to tell my story and create good content and honestly my mission was i want to share these eight principles with people, because its eight principles that i learned in my life. And he shares his principles for success in life everyday, one way or another, making him a social media sensation. Social media makes everybody think theyre popping.
