The EPA will accuse FCA of using emissions cheating software
Thomson Reuters
The EPA told the automaker it believes its undeclared emissions control software allowed vehicles to generate excess pollution in violation of the law. Fiat Chrysler declined to comment to Reuters.
FCA's U.S.-listed shares were down 15%.
The EPA will announce the findings at an 11 a.m. conference call. It comes amid rising scrutiny by EPA of automaker emissions after Volkswagen admitted to cheating diesel emissions tests in 580,000 U.S. vehicles.
In November, there was a class-action lawsuit brought against FCA and engine manufacturer Cummins accusing them of cheating on diesel emissions tests. Both companies said they would fight the lawsuit.
The EPA has for months declined to certify Fiat Chrysler's 2017 diesel vehicles for sale in the United States.
