(Reuters) – Stellantis system FCA United States consented to pay $4.2 million to settle a California examination right into excess exhausts, the state claimed on Monday.
The California Air Resources Board (CARBOHYDRATE) stated the cars covered by the negotiation consist of 2014 with 2016 Ram ProMaster 1500, 2500 and 3500 cars outfitted with 3.0 L diesel motor.
The state claimed the cars had an unauthorized gadget that prevented exhausts control and caused almost 55 lots of excess oxides of nitrogen being launched right into the air. Stellantis in 2022 paid a $5.6 million negotiation for comparable claims entailing gas-powered cars.
