General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) announced even more vehicle recalls on Monday and more than doubled its estimate of the costs of recalling faulty vehicles this quarter. The company’s CEO Mary Barra, prepared for questioning from sceptical US legislators. GM said its expected charge this quarter for recalls had risen from the $300m it announced in mid-March to $750m. This latest recall calls for 1.3 million older vehicles, as recent as 2009-2010. These cars according to GM could experience “a sudden loss of electric power steering assist.” General Motors has already recalled 2.2 million compact cars over potentially dangerous ignition switches and 1.5 million vehicles recalled for other issues.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) will finally go through a 2-for-1 stock split on April 3rd, a move that has been two years in the making. The split would help strengthen founders Larry Page’s and Sergey Brin’s control over the company. Page and Brin had super-voting Class B shares which controlled 56% of Google as of last April’s proxy filing. Google has issued Class A shares to finance acquisitions and pay employees with stock. Each Class A share carries one vote, while a Class B share carries 10 votes. Google has created Class C shares which will be issued on April 3rd to shareholders of record March 27th. No voting rights come with these shares and these are the shares Google intends to issue for compensation and acquisitions in the future.
