The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will extend a consent order requiring General Motors Co. to disclose detailed safety issues and meet with government officials monthly for at least another year.

Last year, GM agreed to the sweeping decree and paid a record-setting $35 million civil penalty for delaying a recall of 2.6 million older cars for ignition switch defects that are now linked to 104 deaths and nearly 200 injuries.

The auto safety agency said in a May 14 letter to GM obtained by The Detroit News on Thursday that it is opting to extend some requirements under a sweeping May 2014 consent decree.

NHTSA is allowed to extend the agreement until as long as May 2017.
