An LG Energy Solution spokesperson in a statement said
the company understands the request by NHTSA is a follow-up procedure, adding, “LG Energy Solution will fully cooperate with the inquiry.”
Among recalls cited by the agency
were GM’s recalls of its Chevrolet Bolt EV that prompted it to halt sales and production of new models in August.
In October, LG Chem Ltd (051910.KS), which owns LG Energy Solution,
said it would take a charge of 620 billion won ($510 million) in its third-quarter results in connection with the GM Bolt recall.
NHTSA noted in February that
Stellantis recalled 16,741 2017-2018 Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Electric vehicles after the automaker said hybrid battery packs produced by LG were involved in 12 reports of vehicle fires.
The automaker said
it “has not yet determined whether the battery packs were defective or the root cause of the fires.”NHTSA also cited
a March 16 Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE)recall of 351 ID4 vehicles from the 2021 model year over batteries thatmay contain insufficient soldering points and potentially unreliable connections inside the high voltage battery.
VW said
vehicles may break down while driving, potentially leading to a crash.
