DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Co will allow Chevrolet Volt owners to drive other GM vehicles while U.S. regulators investigate the safety of batteries used in the Volt after crash tests produced fires.
Senior GM engineers will work with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to explore changes to the battery, the U.S. automaker said on Monday.
Last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a formal defect investigation of the Volt to assess the fire risk.
