Stellantis says the trucks shouldn’t be driven until repairs are made.
The company says the person was killed in a May 13 crash that caused the air bags to inflate. Neither Stellantis nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would say where the crash happened or identify the victim. The person “succumbed to a serious injury consistent with those observed in previous Takata inflator failures,” Stellantis said in a prepared statement Tuesday.
Most of the deaths and about 400 injuries have happened in U.S., but they also have occurred in Australia and Malaysia. The company says 29,000 of the recalled pickups are still on the road but haven’t been repaired. However NHTSA estimates that there are 84,000. In 2015 the company recalled more than 385,000 of the trucks.
Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, says the May death is the fourth in its vehicles. It says that six notices were sent to the owner’s home, but the recall repairs weren’t done.
