Fiat Chrysler to recall more than 1.6 million vehicles in US

NEW YORK — At the insistence of federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler is recalling about 843,000 pickup trucks because slamming the door too hard could set off the air bag meant to provide head protection in a side-impact crash, according to a report by the automaker posted Saturday on the regulator’s website.

The recall includes about 667,000 vehicles in the United States and covers the Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 from the 2013-15 model years. In addition to the U.S. vehicles, about 153,000 are being recalled in Canada, 8,300 in Mexico and 15,000 outside North America, a spokesman for Chrysler, Eric Mayne, said in an email.
