Fiat Chrysler cars can remove more than a million cars due to an emissions problem, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday. In tests conducted through the car manufacturer, its 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder engine, which is used in a wide variety of FCA products, can produce higher emissions.
FCA is working hard with the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board on this issue. On the occasion of a recall, it is not transparent which years, brands and models will be affected, however, the Tigershark engine has been used in a variety of FCA products, from the now defunct Chrysler Two Hundred and Dodge Dart to Jeep Cherokee, Compass and Renegade.

“As a component of internal testing, we have made the decision that approximately 1 million cars supplied with the 2.4-liter Tigershark engine may have an excess of exhaust emissions,” FCA said in a recent filing with the SEC. “At this stage, we cannot reliably assess the likelihood of curtain prices or estimate a diversity of prices imaginable.”
A Fiat Chrysler spokesman did not respond to Roadshow’s request for comment.
In a statement obtained by the Detroit Free Press, FCA says it “has been working closely with EPA and CARB, and we continue to do so, on a group of vehicles equipped with Tigershark engines. As this population ages, some vehicles exceed in-use emission requirements, depending on drive cycle and mileage. We are conducting test programs to define a remedy, which also requires approval by the agencies. Affected customers will be advised when service becomes available, and will be provided free of charge.”
The Jeep Cherokee is one of the many cars affected by this problem.
