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.
美国第三大汽车制造商克莱斯勒集团11日宣布,因部分车辆的电路板发送错误指令导致车辆意外换至空挡,该集团将在全球共召回大约46.9万辆运动型多功能汽车,以对软件进行升级。(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.
此次召回车辆涉及2006至2010款吉普指挥官、2005至2010款吉普大切诺基,其中包括美国市场的29.5万辆,加拿大市场的2.85万辆,墨西哥市场的4200辆,以及北美以外地区的14.1万辆。(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.
美国安全监管部门表示,电路板故障可能导致车辆启动时发出错误指令,而车辆在换至空挡时可能发生溜车现象。克莱斯勒表示,该故障问题已造成26起汽车事故报告,其中2人受伤。(美联社)

Chrysler,an affiliate of Italy’s Fiat SpA,also said it is recalling 532 2013-model-year Ram 1500 pickup trucks in the United States and Canada,a third of which remain in dealer inventories,to inspect and possibly replace windshield defrosting and defogging components.

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.
