GM recalls dozens of electric BrightDrop vans after two reported fires


General Motors is recalling some of the larger electric BrightDrop vans after two reported fires stemming from an issue in the front drive unit. It's BrightDrop's third recall.

General Motors is recalling around 66 electric delivery vans made by its BrightDrop subsidiary after the front drive units in at least two of them caught fire late last year. GM says in paperwork filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it believes the defect was limited to its larger EV600 vehicles built between November 24, 2021 and May 24, 2022. “The safety of our products is the highest priority for the entire GM team, and we’re working to quickly remedy this matter for our customers,” the company said in a statement to TechCrunch.
