GM recalls dozens of electric BrightDrop vans after two caught fire.
GM is investigating what caused two of its big electric delivery vans made for BrightDrop commercial customers to catch fire last month.
How can GM be so bad at this? 😐
Probably massive subcontracting of software and digital design, mixed with supply chain issues, and unproven part substitutions at the component level.
That seems to be easy for them based on my experience with their vehicles over the years.
Most likely not GM's fault. They probably don't manufacture these batteries.
Where are you seeing that this is battery related in the article?
The automaker's initial investigation showed the vehicles may contain a manufacturing defect that, "in heavy-duty cycle use conditions, can allow the drive pinion to cut its way through the outboard side of the drive-unit case," the filing with NHTSA said. The result could be an oil leak that can lead to an under-the-hood fire, the filing stated.
