Chrysler Group LLC is recalling about 469000 SUVs worldwide to update software after some vehicles’ circuit boards were found to be transmitting signals that trigger inadvertent gear shifts to neutral,the No. 3 U.S. automaker said Saturday.
美國第三大汽車制造商克萊斯勒集團11日宣布,因部分車輛的電路板發送錯誤指令導致車輛意外換至空擋,該集團將在全球共召回大約46.9萬輛運動型多功能汽車,以對軟件進行升級。(路透社)
Included are 2006 to 2010-model-year Jeep Commanders and 2005 to 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokees,of which about 295000 are in the United States,28500 are in Canada and 4200 are in Mexico. The remaining 141000 are outside of North America.
此次召回車輛涉及2006至2010款吉普指揮官、2005至2010款吉普大切諾基,其中包括美國市場的29.5萬輛,加拿大市場的2.85萬輛,墨西哥市場的4200輛,以及北美以外地區的14.1萬輛。(路透社)
It was Chrysler’s largest recall since more than 900000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty SUVs were recalled worldwide in November to fix a part that could cause airbags to deploy inadvertently.

U.S. safety regulators say cracks in a circuit board can cause a faulty signal as the SUVs are being started. If the vehicles shift into neutral they can roll away. Chrysler says the problem has caused 26 crashes and two injuries.

Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update software to take care of the problem. Repairs will be made at no cost to owners.

Additionally,the company said it is recalling about 5330 right-hand-drive 2008 to 2012 Jeep Wranglers to install dust shields to prevent dust buildup that could compromise airbag operation. All of the vehicles,used mostly for rural mail delivery,are in the United States.

Chrysler’s first-quarter net profits fell 65% as the third largest US carmaker shipped fewer older cars in preparation for new product launches. The company,58%-owned by Fiat,earned $166m in the January to March period,on revenues down 6% to $15.4bn. Consequently,Fiat’s net profits tumbled to $166m from $473m a year ago.
