WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said it would investigate a crash that killed Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin in his recalled 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 

Yelchin was killed when the SUV rolled away and pinned him against a fence in Los Angeles, police said on June 19. Fiat Chrysler in April recalled more than 1.1 million cars and SUVs worldwide because vehicles may roll away after drivers exit, an issue linked to 41 injuries, 212 crashes and 308 reports of property damage, though it had no immediate fix for owners.
