General Motors officials believe that company CEO Mary Barra will be cleared of wrongdoing in the recall crisis after a three-month internal investigation, according to The New York Times.
In March GM hired two law firms to look into its controversial recall of millions of vehicles that resulted in at least 13 deaths related to faulty ignition switches.
The probe, which was led by Jenner & Block Chairman Anton "Tony" Valukas, will likely name employees, departments, and executives within GM responsible for the delayed recall.
It is also expected to recommend broad corporate and personnel changes within the company, according to the newspaper.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration imposed a $35 million fine on GM for failing to report the defect in a timely manner.
The automaker still faces probes by Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, and a number of stats about how it handled the recall.
Kenneth Feinberg expects within the next couple of weeks to give GM as set of options for offering financial restitution to the victims of crashes related to the recall, according to The Wall-Street Journal.
GM said it retained Feinberg to examine what steps, if any, GM would have to take for families of crash victims. Feinberg recently oversaw the BP oil spill fund,
The move likely indicates that the company is considering setting up a victims' compensation fund.
Feinberg is working "diligently" on the compensation recommendations, though he declined to give additional details on the timing, according to the Journal.
GM spokesman Gred Martin has not commented on the reports yet.
