Not a day after recalling nearly 50,000 Jeep Cherokees to address a fire risk, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV FCAU added another 4.8 million vehicles to the list.
A short circuit may occur when drivers tap the gas pedal in cruise control, causing a malfunction of the standard cruise control exits such as braking or hitting the switch and locking the vehicle in the assisted state, according to FCA.
