Fiat Chrysler recalling 2.2 million trucks - The Detroit News

Washington — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said Saturday it will recall nearly 2. 2 million trucks worldwide because of air bags that can deploy without warning. Theannouncement of two new recalls for inadvertent air bag deployments comes a day after Fiat Chrysler recalled 1. 4 million vehicles for hacking concerns — and as it is negotiating a settlement with the National Highway Traffic Safety... The Italian American automaker said it will call back 1. 35 million 2012-2014 Ram trucks (1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500) in the United States because of a steering wheel harness that may rub against the driver air bag module retainer spring. Fiat Chrysler in November issued a “precautionary product improvement” by adding the caps to new truck production. Fiat Chrysler bought back two trucks in December as part of its investigation and later bought back other trucks. Fiat Chrysler said there was as many as 55 reports in total of inadvertent air bag deployments. Separately, the automaker also said it is recalling nearly 844,000 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup. Source: www.detroitnews.com
