US opens probe into 3,322 GM Cadillac Lyriq EVs loss of brake assist
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Monday it has opened a preliminary evaluation to investigate claims related to loss of brake assist for 3,322 GM Cadillac Lyriq electric vehicles.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking brakes and slipping when applied, further reducing the risk of an accident.
Due to the spindle fracture, the vehicles can lose brake assist, experience speed limitation, and ABS would lose some functionality, GM said in the NHTSA report.
