  • The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday it was opening a preliminary probe into 877,710 vehicles manufactured by General Motors , after receiving reports alleging engine failure.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated a preliminary investigation into over 870,000 General Motors (GM) vehicles due to concerns about loss of brake assist and the automatic emergency braking system not functioning properly. This probe covers various models including the Chevrolet Malibu, Silverado, and GMC Sierra from the 2014-2018 model years. The issue stems from reports that the vehicles' electronic brake control modules might fail, leading to a loss of brake assist, which could increase stopping distances and potentially cause accidents. The NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation has received 11 complaints related to this problem, with some incidents resulting in crashes but no reported injuries. This investigation aims to assess the scope and severity of the issue, potentially leading to a recall if a safety defect is confirmed.
