Jan 19 (Reuters) - ⁠The ⁠U.S. ‍National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said ‍on Monday it opened a ​recall query into about ​597,571 vehicles from General Motors over engine failure.

The recall affects GM ​vehicles equipped with a L87 6.2L V8 ​gas engine that experienced engine damage ‌or failure, it said.

The auto safety regulator said ​it had received ⁠36 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging engine failure ‌in vehicles subject to the prior recall.

GM recalled 721,000 vehicles worldwide over ‍engine issues in April last year, with ⁠nearly 600,000 vehicles in the U.S.
