US Government Accuses Chrysler of Illegal Diesel Emissions
Posted on January 12, 2017
BIRMINGHAM, AL: (January 12, 2017) – The US Justice Department accused Fiat Chrysler today of intentionally failing to disclose software in some of its diesel engine vehicles that allows them to emit more pollution that allowed under the Clean Air Act. The Environmental Protection Agency also issued a “notice of violation” to Chrysler citing more than 104,000 vehicles with 3-liter diesel engines including the 2014 through 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram pickups.
The EPA said it found at least eight undisclosed pieces of software that can alter how a vehicle emits air pollution. EPA assistant administrator for enforcement and compliance, Cynthia Giles, said, “Failing to disclose software that affects emissions in a vehicle’s engine is a serious violation of the law, which can result in harmful pollution in the air we breathe.”
