WHILE 12 carmakers are still dealing with a deadly defect in millions of airbags made by Takata, Fiat Chrysler has been quietly grappling with a different chronic airbag problem: Since 2012, it has now recalled 1.8 million vehicles in the United States because its airbags may deploy without an accident.
On Friday, it issued the most recent recall, for almost 316,000 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models, including 284,000 in the US.
