U.S. auto safety regulators have closed an investigation into complaints that engines on some small Jeeps can shut down while being driven.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday it will not seek a recall of about 229,000 Jeep Compass SUVs from the 2019 and 2020 model years.
