Fiat Chrysler Recalls 965,000 Cars for Excessive Nitrogen Oxide Emissions

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV will recall about 965,000 gasoline-powered vehicles in the United States and Canada that do not meet emissions standards and will replace their catalytic converters, officials said on Wednesday. California and Fiat Chrysler said the vehicles emit nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution above regulatory limits. NOx emissions in California are a major contributor to ambient ozone and to fine particulate matter pollution, which is associated with asthma emergency room visits, increased hospitalizations due to exacerbated chronic heart and lung diseases, and other serious health problems, CARB said.
