TechGM vehicles under federal scrutiny after hundreds of reports

The federal government is expanding a safety investigation into more than 1.1 million vehicles made by General Motors, including EVs and models built for Honda and Acura. The probe concerns GM’s eBoost brake-by-wire system, which may suffer a spindle fracture. NHTSA says reports allege some failures cause immediate loss of braking. There have been 745 reports, 22 crashes, and six injuries, with no deaths reported.
