NHTSA Closes Probe into Nearly 73,000 GM Hybrids
The probe was opened in 2023 to investigate allegations regarding motive power loss, potential stalling, reduced power, and/or a no-start condition.
The investigation covered Chevrolet’s plug-in-hybrid Volt models from model years 2016 to 2019, the auto safety regulator said.
Last year, GM issued a special coverage for impacted vehicles providing an extension of the warranty coverage for the battery control module to 15 years or 150,000 miles.
Additionally, GM said that replacement components were now sourced from a different supplier and not susceptible to the same failure.
