We’d like to share this important letter from General Motors’ President of North America, Mark Reuss, with you. A hard copy of this letter was also mailed to you via Fedex. January 5, 2012 Dear Volt Owner, A little over a month ago we brought to your attention efforts by GM and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to better understand the cause of a post-crash electrical fire that occurred after NHTSA crash tested a Chevrolet Volt. I am writing to inform you of our solution to this issue. We remain firm in our belief that the Volt is a safe car- before, during and immediately after a crash. Although there have been no real world customer incidents, we’re taking precautionary steps to ensure your peace of mind. The focus of this investigation has been on what happens days or weeks after a severe side pole impact test, followed by a roll over. We are enhancing the vehicle structure and battery coolant system to improve battery protection after a severe crash. We will notify you in February to schedule service to make these modifications.
