From Automotive News: General Motors said today that it will provide free loaner vehicles to Chevrolet Volt owners to offer "peace of mind" as federal safety regulators investigate fires that have occurred in the plug-in hybrid's battery pack after crash testing. In a conference call with the media, General Motors executives tried to tamp down growing concerns over the Volt's safety after officials from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday opened a formal investigation into the risk of fire in Volts that have been involved in severe crashes. "I believe in the safety of the Volt," said Mark Reuss, GM president of North America. "Our customers' peace of mind is the most important thing. This technology should inspire confidence and pride, not raise any concern or doubt." Reuss said GM today is sending letters to all Volt customers and dealersto reassure them that the Volt is "safe to drive" and to clarify that the investigation centers on the risk of an electrical fire that can happen days or even weeks after a severe crash. On Nov. 11, NHTSA disclosed that a Volt that it had been involved in a side-impact crash test in May caught fire three weeks later in a storage facility. NHTSA determined that damage to the vehicle's lithium ion battery led to the fire, but said it didn't believe that the Volt or other electric vehicles were a greater fire risk than gasoline-powered vehicles. On Friday, NHTSA said it conducted three follow-up tests this month that intentionally damaged the Volt's battery pack. Two of those tests caused a fire. "The agency is concerned that damage to the Volt's batteries as part of three tests that are explicitly designed to replicate real-world crash scenarios have resulted in fire," the agency said in a statement Friday. It added: "Chevy Volt owners whose vehicles have not been in a serious crash do not have reason for concern."
