DETROIT: US safety regulators said there were 68 reported injuries and 266 reported crashes in vehicles, including 2014-2015 Fiat Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee models with a type of gear-shifting control that has confused some consumers and led to rollaway incidents, prompting a recall.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicated that there were no deaths linked to the defect. But NHTSA acknowledged that it is aware of last week's death of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin in an accident the agency said "may have been related to the alleged defect."
