Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Monday unveiled details of its incentive and buyback program for some recalls as part of its record-setting $105 million settlement with federal regulators. A monitor will be selected to oversee the company’s compliance with the three-year agreement that came after NHTSA raised questions about FCA’s handling of 23 recall campaigns covering more than 11 million vehicles. FCA US said it has begun contacting customers about the incentives. The incentives are designed to “boost completion rates for certain ongoing recalls” involving older SUVs and trucks for which remedies were not immediately available,” the company said. The automaker said last month that it already had repaired 70 percent of about 578,000 eligible vehicles, leaving 175,000 that could be bought back by the company. “Remedies are available, we are servicing vehicles, and we encourage affected customers to contact their dealers,” said Scott Kunselman, FCA’s senior vice president-vehicle safety and regulatory compliance.
