The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into the recall of close to 1.2 million RAM pickup trucks after the agency reviewed multiple incidents, which caused 7 injuries and 12 incidents involving fire or crash, questioning whether Stellantis NV (NYSE:STLA) failed to address the issue.
What Happened: The issue stems from the trucks disengaging from the Park setting on the transmission and rolling away unexpectedly despite there being no key in the ignition or the foot being taken off the brake pedal, the agency said in a report on Monday.
