Thursday we learned that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is investigating Fiat Chrysler U.S. (FCA)<\/a> regarding alleged software-based circumvention of emissions standards. On Friday, Bloomberg reported<\/a> that the U.S. Department of Justice is also looking into that same alleged failure of its responsibility to disclose the use of emissions altering software for possible criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n

The probe into FCA is similar to the one that Volkswagen encountered in its own emissions scandal, though Bloomberg reports that fewer overall vehicles are involved in the Department of Justice\u2019s inquiry into Fiat Chrysler. It isn\u2019t clear how far along the DoJ\u2019s investigation is at this stage, only that it\u2019s underway.<\/p>\n

The DoJ\u2019s criminal investigation into Volkswagen resulted in criminal charges against six high-ranking employees of the automaker, who were indicted on Wednesday. FCA CEO Sergio Machine said during a media call that his company\u2019s issues are \u201cnothing\u201d like the Volkswagen situation, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are confident that no one at FCA committed any fraud or tried not to be compliant,\u201d Marchionne said, as reported by Bloomberg<\/a>. \u201cWe may be technically deficient but not immoral. We never installed any defeat device.\u201d<\/p>\n

FCA released a statement<\/a> on Thursday saying their emissions management software \u201cmeet the applicable requirements\u201d set out by the EPA, and do not constitute \u201cdefeat devices\u201d designed to circumvent emissions standards as laid out by the agency.<\/p>\n
