(Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Justice has demanded documents related to the transmission used in about 2 million of Ford Motor Co’s (F.N) Fiesta and Focus vehicles sold throughout this decade, the Detroit Free Press reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper obtained a subpoena issued in April in Case No. 126 before a District of Columbia grand jury requesting “all documents, communications and electronically stored information” relating to the company’s actions involving the DPS6 PowerShift transmission dating back to 2010, the report said.
