FCA costretta a richiamare per difetti a airbag 1.33 milioni di vetture compresi 233 mila Freemont
Brutte notizie per FCA costretta ad annunciare diverse campagne di richiamo che andranno a coinvolgere, in totale, oltre 1.33 milioni di vetture a causa di una possibile apertura involontaria dell’airbag e per dei potenziali rischi di incendio.
Stando a quanto riferito dall’agenzia Reuters saranno compresi nel piano anche 233 mila Freemont richiamati per il difetto all’airbag.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said on Friday it is recalling 1.33 million vehicles worldwide in two separate campaigns for potential fire risks and inadvertent airbag deployments.
The Italian-American automaker said it is recalling about 770,000 sport utility vehicles because of a wiring issue that may lead to inadvertent deployment of the driver-side air bag and is linked to reports of five related minor injuries, but no crashes.
The company said wiring could chafe against pieces of steering-wheel trim, potentially causing a short-circuit and ultimately leading to an inadvertent air bag deployment. The issue could also cause unintended windshield wiper operation or inoperable switches.
The recall covers 538,000 2011-2015 Dodge Journey vehicles in North America and 233,000 2011-2015 Fiat Freemont crossovers sold elsewhere. Dealers will inspect and replace the wiring, as needed and equip it with additional protective covering.
