Fiat Chrysler recalls 1.9 million vehicles for air bag defect

Car maker Fiat Chrysler is to recall nearly two million vehicles worldwide to resolve an air bag defect that has been linked to at least three deaths and five injuries.

The recall includes models sold between 2010 and 2014.

It is the latest in a string of automaker recalls for serious air bag-related issues.

Last week, General Motors said it would recall nearly 4.3 million vehicles worldwide due to a software defect that can prevent air bags from deploying during a crash, a flaw already linked to one death and three injuries. That defect is similar but not identical to the Fiat Chrysler issue.
