The auto safety regulator said it received 499 complaints alleging engine failures despite the vehicles having undergone an earlier recall remedy.
GM issued a recall last year to address concerns related to engine failure in the impacted L87 unit. The Detroit automaker attributed the issue to a supplier.
The NHTSA said its new engineering analysis would continue its investigation into post-recall engine failures and assess the effectiveness of GM’s fixes.
