Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV tells a court hearing in San Francisco that it expects to achieve final regulatory signoff by April on a proposed fix for diesels claimed to violate U.S. emission rules.
FCA was sued in May by the Dept. of Justice for using illegal emission control software to evade pollution limits for 104,000 diesel-powered vehicles sold in the U.S. between 2014 and 2016. The company has denied any deliberate wrongdoing.
The proposed fix is to update the software. In July, federal regulators granted FCA permission to sell 2017 model diesels that employ the new software. The company says the 2017 engines use exactly the same emission control hardware found on the older diesels.
