The investigation is a potential setback amid Stellantis' push to reverse a drop in market share in North America.
Stellantis NV is working with U.S. authorities investigating reports of Jeep engines catching fire, a potential setback for the carmaker amid a push to reverse a drop in market share in North America. Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators from model years 2021 through 2023 may be prone to engine fires with an estimated 781,500 vehicles that could be affected by the problem, according to a document Monday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website.
The probe adds to news over the weekend of the company recalling about 1.46 million Ram trucks, most of them in North America, because of a software problem that may disable their electronic stability control systems. Stellantis is struggling with high levels of inventories, quality issues and declining market share in the United States, the group’s biggest single profit pool, among a string of executive departures. It’s also facing recalls in Europe over problems with Takata airbags.
