US vehicle regulators have called for more scrutiny over Corolla cars and an investigation into why some of them are stalling.

The step-up in scrutiny has come after complaints of stalled engines on Toyota Corolla sedans and Matrix hatchbacks.

While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not asked for a recall, it has upgraded investigations into possible causes behind the stalling.

The administration has called for a probe to cover 1.8 million Corolla and Matrix cars from model years 2005 to 2007.

A preliminary probe was begun by NHTSA in December to determine whether a defect exists.
