Chevy Volt under 'formal safety investigation' by NHTSA due to post-crash fire concerns
Chevrolet Volt lithium-ion battery can be great for many things - as the essence of addiction, for example - but when it comes to crash tests regulated by the government proves be a burning issue. According to history, in May, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration put a Volt by standard side-impact tests, and in doing so, "the vehicle battery has been damaged and the refrigerant line broke." The big problem? The car caught fire a few weeks later, apparently as a direct result. This event led to the NHTSA to further study the safety of hitters in the period after an accident, which resulted in more testing is little more than a week to see if they show once more volatile - in short, they no. The group recently said he is "concerned that the damage to the batteries for the Volt, as part of the three tests that are specifically designed to replicate the actual accident scenarios have led to the fire."
With this development, NHTSA (with assistance from the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy and General Motors, itself) has officially launched a formal investigation Volt's implementation to ensure that your current battery is not a security flaw. Despite the announcement, the agency notes that all currently volts compress along the streets, do not be a be a problem similar on the open road. The NHTSA also stated that there is still no reason why the current owners to worry, provided they have not been in an accident with your vehicle. In total, GM describes all the research that "process" at this point, saying that both GM has worked with NHTSA for more than six months in a "comprehensive program designed to induce a battery failure after extreme situations." It seems a little late at this point, but in any case, you will find all the details in the press releases of both parties immediately after the break.
