Citing possible electronic problems, the Mexican unit of Fiat Chrysler issued a recall notice to the owners of more than 122,000 vehicles, Mexico’s consumer watchdog Profeco has said.
Profeco said in a statement the Fiat Chrysler recall is due to a possible computer programming problem with the vehicles’ powertrain control module and applies to 122,208 vehicles sold in Mexico under Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands, according to a Reuters report.
In the same statement on Thursday, Profeco said that Volkswagen’s Mexican unit had also issued a recall notice, for a small number of its 2018 Golf R vehicles already in circulation, citing a possible problem with seat head rests.
Both companies said they will provide free inspections of the affected vehicles.
