Fiat Recalls More Than 1.9 Million Cars — Are You Affected?
oi-Dennis James
Italian-American carmaker Fiat Chrysler Automotive (FCA) is recalling 1.9 million vehicles across the world because their airbags may not deploy in case of a crash.
The recall affects certain models from FCA's Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Lancia brands from the 2010–2014 model year lineups.
Almost 1.4 million of the recalled cars were sold in the United States while 224,860 were sold in Canada and Mexico and 284,051 were sold in markets outside the North American continent.
The vehicles affected by the recall are:
- 2010 Chrysler Sebring
- 2010 Chrysler Cirrus
- 2011-2014 Chrysler 200
- 2010-2012 Dodge Caliber
- 2010-2014 Dodge Avenger
- 2010-2014 Jeep Patriot
- 2010-2014 Jeep Compass
- 2012-2013 Lancia Flavia
According
to
the
FCA
group,
an
air-bag
and
seat-belt
control
module
with
a
certain
wiring
design
may
not
deploy
the
air
bags
or
tighten
the
seat
belts
if
the
vehicle
is
involved
in
a
frontal
crash.
This
could
increase
the
risk
of
injury
to
passengers
in
case
of
a
crash.
FCA
is
aware
of
the
issue
and
is
asking
owners
of
the
affected
vehicles
to
bring
them
to
into
their
nearest
FCA
dealership
where
the
defective
parts
will
be
replaced
for
free.
Fiat
Chysler
Automotive
is
aware
of
three
deaths
and
five
injuries
that
may
be
related
to
the
issue.
The
FCA
recall
is
not
related
to
GM's
recall
of
over
4.3
million
cars
for
fautly
airbag
and
seatbelt
systems.
The
GM
problem
can
be
fixed
with
a
software
patch,
while
the
FCA
issue
needs
hardware
replacements.
