(Bloomberg) -- A record penalty that could reach $105 million isn’t the only imposition U.S. auto-safety regulators are making on Fiat Chrysler: It’s also getting a house guest.
The maker of Dodge pickups and Jeep sport utility vehicles on Sunday, like Toyota before it, agreed to hire an independent monitor to ensure it will no longer delay safety recalls. Including GM and Honda, which have agreed to additional oversight, companies representing more than half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. will be under the yoke of extraordinary regulatory scrutiny.
The message from NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind, who took over in December, should be clear, said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Washington-based research group Center for Auto Safety: The government no longer trusts them.
