FCA US LLC, formerly Chrysler Group LLC, has pleaded guilty to making false and misleading representations about emissions control systems on Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ram 1500s for the 2014-2016 model years.  The company will pay a criminal fine of nearly $100 million, and forfeit over $200 million, for a total of $300 million in penalties.  Fiat Chrysler marketed the vehicles as “clean EcoDiesel,” but installed software features to fraudulently help the vehicles meet emissions standards during testing that could not be met under normal driving conditions.  DOJ
