Affected Vehicles

On January 12, 2017 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice of violation to Fiat Chrysler alleging that it had violated the Clean Air Act by installing secret “defeat device” software in vehicles to evade emissions standards.

Gordon & Partners is investigating claims on behalf of consumers who purchased or leased one of the affected vehicles which include:

• 2014, 2015 and 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokees SUVs with 3-liter diesel engines

Violations of Emissions Regulations

The EPA and the California Air Resources Board have accused Fiat Chrysler of using illegally hidden software in its vehicles, allowing the release of diesel emissions that far exceed regulatory requirements.

The EPA believes the software allowed the vehicles to emit higher levels of the pollutant nitrous oxide than legally allowed while the vehicles were driving on the road. When stopped or being tested, the software would restrict the levels of pollutants emitted to meet EPA standards.

According to the EPA, failing to reveal software that affects the level of emissions released by a vehicle is a serious violation of the law. The agency claims to have found at least eight undisclosed pieces of software that alter the vehicles’ emissions.

The action affects 104,000 trucks and SUVs sold in the U.S. since 2014. Fiat Chrysler could be fined as much as $44,539 per vehicle, totaling almost $4.6 billion.

The Italian-American automaker has denied the accusations and contested the charge. It claims the software is a legal way to meet strict emissions standards.

Not the First Vehicle Emissions Scandal

Fiat Chrysler is the second automaker in less than three years to have been accused by the EPA of using software to help diesel vehicles pass emissions tests.

Volkswagen admitted to using defeat devices to cheat emissions tests in September 2015. It has since agreed to pay $4.3 billion to settle civil and criminal allegations involving 590,000 vehicles. It will also pay $11 billion to address consumer vehicles.
