Fiat Chrysler Admits Under-Reporting Deaths & Injuries To NHTSA
Yet another auto-maker has lied. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US says in a statement that it has identified deficiencies in its TREAD reporting and has promptly notified NHTSA. One cannot help but wonder what came first, a leak or some conscience, but as NHTSA notes this means FCA under-reported the number of deaths and injuries that the automaker may be responsible for.
- *FCA US: FOUND DEFICIENCIES IN TREAD REPORTING
- *FIAT CHRYSLER NOTIFIED NHTSA OF THESE ISSUES
- *FCA INFORMS NHTSA IT FOUND SIGNIFICANT UNDER-REPORTED NOTICES
- *FCA HAD SIGNIF UNDER-REPORTED CLAIMS OF DEATHS, INJURIES: NHTSA
- *NHTSA: SIGNIFICANT FAILURE TO MEET SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES
- *NHTSA TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON FCA REPORTING ISSUES
Fiat Chrysler's Statement: TREAD Reporting
September 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - As a result of FCA US LLC’s heightened scrutiny of its regulatory reporting obligations growing out of its recent Consent Order with NHTSA, FCA US identified deficiencies in its TREAD reporting. FCA US promptly notified NHTSA of these issues, and committed to a thorough investigation, to be followed by complete remediation. FCA US is in regular communication with NHTSA about its progress in the investigation. FCA US takes this issue extremely seriously, and will continue to cooperate with NHTSA to resolve this matter and ensure these issues do not re-occur.
The reaction is muted for now..
The TREAD Act reporting details are as follows:
The Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (or TREAD) Act is a United States federal law enacted in the fall of 2000. This law intends to increase consumer safety through mandates assigned to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It was drafted in response to fatalities related to Ford Explorers fitted with Firestone tires, and was influenced by automobile and tire manufacturers as well as consumer safety advocates.
There are three major components of the TREAD Act.
- First, it requires that vehicle manufacturers report to the National Highway & Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) when it conducts a safety recall or other safety campaign in a foreign country.
- Second, vehicle manufacturers need to report information related to defects, reports of injury or death related to its products, as well as other relevant data in order to comply with "Early Warning" requirements.
- Third, there is criminal liability where a vehicle manufacturer intentionally violates the new reporting requirements when a safety-related defect has subsequently caused death or serious bodily injury.
There are a number of other smaller provisions which mostly address manufacturers of vehicle tires and guidance to the NHTSA on reporting data. The "Early Warning" requirement is the heart of the TREAD Act, enabling the NHTSA to collect data, notice trends, and warn consumers of potential defects in vehicles.

US BLS admits under-reporting unemployment and inflation
Truth is treason in an empire of lies
Adjusting the numbers are American as the Jersey Mafia..
It’s not as if it’s a matter of life or death or anything.
Are these deaths seasonally adjusted? ;-)
Looney
Fiat gets away with this crap because they are on the correct donor list of “friends”. Microsoft gets dragged into court year after year by the IRS because they ae not regime fanatics. Yea know the drill.
You support the fascists USSA or you pay.

Tesla admits they electrocute one baby seal for every 2 cars they produce.

Put a bottle of nitrous in the air conditioning system - that way, when the bugger bursts into flames all those inside can die laughing!
Big deal, people died.
What were their NOx emissions like?

Better yet, check their campaign contributions.
They only say stuff like that "voluntarily" if they know the info is about to get out anyway.
Sort of puts the whole J.D. Power and Associate surveys as pure bull shit speak, sort of like the BLS reports.
The only thing wrong in this world is being politically incorrect.
Lies? The new normal. Morals and ethics are so passé.
Damn liberals for passing this TREAD Act! It's anti-business.
Automobile Company Lives Matter!
impartiality 'r us.
Why not join the criminal cabal? Everyone big is doing it.
The Just-us department's Eric Holder said he wouldn't prosecute the too big to fail. Anyone think things would change after Holder left?
More links to porn sites so the Just-us department, SEC and others can keep themselves happy.
Sex shops and strip clubs must be busy in DC.
when will they learn...just donate to the democrats...they will do your lying for you. Call their reference Jon Corzine...or Blankfein
Since when has the fox been responsible for reporting suspicious deaths at the hen house??
Usually, it's the government investigating itself and finding nothing wrong...
Fiat is gonna get Volkswagon'd hard, but not as hard since it wasn't fake emissions data
It's a good thing that the Pope's Fiat was surrounded by taxpayers Government Motors SUV's. Who knows what damage that matchbox car could of created.
/lol
Did you say "fiat"?
Fix it again Tony = Fiat 500 and the rest of branded golf cart vehicles available at zero down.

Well VW Andy,
You find a free market imbecile to buy your energy efficiency car. Let's see how free market tree hugging liberals purchase your car at Kelly's blue book value.
You got fucked hanging around with the wrong crowd.

Fucking wackos!
I don't understand - what the heck does the NHTSA and all the state highway people do? Are not they the ones with the most accurate data? If I am in an accident, I call the cops - not Chevrolet or Ford! If it looks funky them the local and state investigators come in to look. Don't they have the stats?
Bloated government expense. Watch the upcoming debate on EBT debt ceiling increase. Google: treasury has be stuck for. Unfunded liability was 120 trillion.

Look at it this way: The liberal-progressives all want to ban guns because there's a number of people who die each year from gun-related incidents. They blame the guns. Okay, let's apply the same logic to cars and ban all cars. Especially for liberals and progressives.
California wanted to ban all black cars. Strangely, most cars in Florida have black tinted windows to deflect heat.
The same state side theft to cultivate big government to sell new technology. Under Obama's Global Global Innovative Acquisitions.
