Brake problems in GM EVs draw greater federal scrutiny
TechCrunch·
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration upgraded its investigation into General Motors electric and non-electric vehicles to an engineering analysis due to potential brake system failures.
- The probe covers more than 1 million vehicles equipped with the eBoost brake-by-wire system, following hundreds of incidents, over 20 crashes or fires, and at least 6 injuries.
- The regulatory agency is conducting further analysis because recent reports of immediate brake assist loss are inconsistent with GM's previous findings regarding spindle fractures.
