| Chevy Volt Recalled for Carbon Monoxide Risk Posted: Share this Article The Chevrolet Volt is being recalled for a possible carbon monoxide risk. The recall affects about 64,000 units from the 2011-2013 model years and the American automaker is aware of two injuries that occured due to carbon monoxide exposure. Affected vehicles will get a software update that will limit how long the car can be left idling in order to prevent carbon monoxide buildup if the vehicle isn't shut off. The problem occurs if the driver unintentionally leaves the Volt running while it's in electric mode, causing the battery to fully drain and the gasoline engine to turn on. SEE ALSO: 2016 Chevy Volt Bows With 50-Mile Electric Range Currently the Volt will emit a warning chime to alert the driver if they exit the vehicle and it hasn't been turned off. The software fix as a result of the recall will limit the time that the idle Volt can be left in the "on" position.

| Next-Gen Honda Civic to Get Turbo Engines Posted: Share this Article Honda is overhauling its entire lineup to include turbocharged engines in the near future. As the automaker looks to boost fuel economy, even the base-model Honda Civic will turn to a downsized turbocharged engine for its next generation. Honda's global R&D chief Yoshiharu Yamamoto confirmed the news saying, "Downsized turbocharging will be the base, even for the Civic." The company has also confirmed plans to start producing the turbo engines in 2015 and the redesigned Civic could make its debut as early as this year. SEE ALSO: 2018 Honda CR-Z Turbo Rumored Expected to power the base-model Civic is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine although Honda will also offer a naturally-aspirated powerplant as an option. Yamamoto shared that the new base-model engine will be capable of matching the performance of the current 2.0- and 2.4-liter engines while adding more torque and better fuel economy. The company is investing $340 million into its engine plant in Anna, Ohio to produce the turbocharged engines by the end of the year.

| Chevrolet Trax, Encore Stop-Sale Ordered Posted: Share this Article General Motors has ordered a stop-delivery on the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Encore models to resolve a steering issue. The American automakers have informed dealers that there's a pending safety recall for the Trax and Encore crossovers to fix a potential loss of electric power steering. The stop-delivery order affects approximately 2,300 units and some of the affected vehicles may have its steering column assembly housing touching against the power steering circuit board. As a result, the contact could eventually wear on the power steering printed circuit board to cause a sudden loss of power steering assist. SEE ALSO: Toyota Issues Two Recalls Covering 112K Vehicles The automaker is working with its supplier to get the parts needed to fix the defect and dealers will be inspecting and possibly replacing the steering column assembly. The defect is similar to an issue that caused Toyota to issue out a recall for 112,000 vehicles earlier this week. Discuss this story at our General Motors forum Loading, please wait... |
