General Motors - The automaker is asking dealers not to sell about 60,000 vehicles, mostly from the 2013 model year, because of a software glitch in its OnStar system. GM does expect to have the issue fixed in a few days.

Navistar - Navistar is the target of more criticism from investor Carl Icahn, who’s slamming the truck maker for naming a new chief executive without getting input from major shareholders. Icahn says the move to appoint Lewis Campbell as interim CEO was “worse than ill-advised,” as Icahn and three other shareholders who own about 60 percent of the company were not consulted.
