NHTSA Says Fiat/Chrysler Under Reported Death And Injury Counts In Recent Recalls

 Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV faces new penalties from federal regulators for failing to properly disclose death and injury reports.

The automaker’s North American operations, FCA US, said the disclosure came about the same time it reached a $105 million settlement with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over its handling of nearly two dozen recalls covering 11 million vehicles.

NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said the issue is a “significant failure.”
