The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has imposed the maximum daily fine of $7,000 for every day the automaker misses a deadline to answer questions about the safety defect that has led to the recall of hundreds of thousands of vehicles.

GM was supposed to act last week, but regulators say the automaker failed to respond to more than a third of its requests.

In a statement, GM said it has “fully cooperated” with the investigation.
