General Motors Co. told its dealers to stop selling any Chevrolet Cruze cars equipped with 1.4-liter turbo engines on their lots.

The automaker did not provide any information why it issued the order. Automakers typically halt sales of a car if they learn of some safety defect. Sometimes it can be a minor issue that puts the model out of compliance with federal safety regulations.

The stop sale order is for 2013 and 2014 model year Cruze sedans with the gasoline turbocharged engine, not the diesel version, said Alan Adler, a GM spokesman. It amounts to about a third of the Cruze inventory at Chevrolet dealers.

“No other details to share,” he said.

I will say, though, that I've got 28,000 miles on it with great gas mileage and absolutely no problems so far.
