Cruise LLC, the self-driving vehicle unit majority owned by General Motors Co., could face a fine for allegedly misleading regulators about an incident on Oct. 2 in which one of its cars dragged a pedestrian, according to a ruling filed Dec. 1.

The California Public Utilities Commission said Cruise must show up at a hearing on Feb. 6 to show why the company shouldn’t be fined for “making misleading public comments regarding its interactions with the Commission.” Cruise could pay up to $100,000 per incident in which it failed to disclose information to regulators about the accident.
