Fiat Chrysler to phase out air bag inflators subject to recall by 2019
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Tuesday it will halt the use of an air bag inflator without a drying agent that will be subject to a future recall, and will notify new car owners at the time of sale.
The company disclosed that the single new vehicle for sale that will need to be recalled by 2019 as part of a massive expansion of recalls of Takata (T:7312) air bag inflators in the 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The company will halt production worldwide with the inflator by mid-September and for North America by next week.
Members of Congress and U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx urged companies, including Toyota and Fiat Chrysler, to disclose the vehicles that would subject to the future recalls. Toyota disclosed its list of vehicles on June 10 with the inflators that will be part of future recalls.
