 "Fiat Chrysler faces probes on US car sales")
US authorities are investigating Fiat Chrysler's reporting of US sales, the auto giant said today.
FCA pledged to "cooperate fully" with the probes by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department which, according to Bloomberg, are examining whether the carmaker violated US securities laws.
In January a Fiat Chrysler auto dealers group accused FCA US of financially rewarding dealerships that falsely reported higher car sales, inflating the auto giant's results.
The lawsuit also challenged the validity of FCA sales figures that have shown rapid growth.
FCA strongly denied the allegations, dismissing the arguments as the product of "two disgruntled dealers" who failed to fulfill their commitments to FCA.
