Fiat-Chrysler Faces Massive Recall - Press Examiner
Fiat Chrysler has had a contentious relationship with NHTSA for years, pushing back on the agency’s efforts to secure recalls and threatening lawsuits to avoid mandatory action, according to former auto regulators. The company must pay a $70 million cash penalty – equal to the record $70 million civil penalty the agency imposed on Honda in January. Fiat Chrysler will buy back as many as 500,000 vehicles due to defective suspensions that can cause a loss of control of the vehicle. Dodge Ram models included in the buyback are from the 1500 series, made between 2009 and 2012, the 2008 Ram Mega Cab 4×4, and the 4×4 models in series 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 made from 2008 to 2012. Fiat Chrysler is also asked to allot a $20... Now FCA is also offering an increase in trade-in allowance to be applied toward the purchase of another FCA product for those owners that would prefer buying a new Jeep rather that installation of the trailer hitch. Fiat Chrysler recalled 1. 4 million vehicles on Thursday, July 24, 2015, for a software fix to prevent them from being hacked remotely. Source: www.pressexaminer.com
