Sept 10 (Reuters) - FCA US LLC, a unit of Fiat Chrysler (NYSE:FCAU)
Automobiles NV FCHA.MI FCAU.N , is recalling about 1.06
million of its Ram trucks in the United States to fix a steering
wheel defect that may cause an air-bag to deploy inadvertently.
The company said an internal investigation discovered that
these trucks may have steering-wheel wiring harnesses that wear
because of contact with a spring.
Such wear may cause a short-circuit that may result in the
inadvertent deployment of the driver-side air-bag. (http://bit.ly/1MdJAyl)
The company said it was aware of two injuries due to wiring
harnesses wear, but no accidents.
FCA US also said an additional 156,498 heavy-duty trucks
were being recalled as they were supplied with steering
components that may have welds with insufficient fusion. This
may cause separation and lead to diminished steering response.
The company said it was aware of a single minor accident in
the United States related to the condition of bracket welds, but
was unaware of any injuries.
As well, about 188,000 vehicles are being recalled to make
their side-curtain air-bags compliant with a federal regulation
to reduce the risk of rear occupant ejection during a rollover.
The company is also recalling 323,183 trucks in Canada,
Mexico and outside the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) region to fix wiring harnesses and bracket welds.
