Employees punished for ignition switch debacle

2.6 million cars with bad switches linked to at least 13 deaths

General Motors says it's forced out 15 employees for their role in the deadly ignition-switch scandal.

An internal probe blames the debacle on engineering ignorance and bureaucratic dithering, not a deliberate cover-up.

GM took more than a decade to recall 2.6 million cars with bad switches linked to at least 13 deaths.

GM is also setting up a compensation fund for victims.
