(bluwmongoose)Following a probe into 23 safety recalls and 11 million cars – which resulted in a record-setting $105 million fine – it appears that Fiat Chrysler is getting a little bit of good news from federal regulators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has decided to not open an investigation into nearly five million other vehicles over power system failures. The regulator denied a 2014 petition [PDF] from the Center for Auto Safety that called for an investigation into an electrical power control module used by the car maker in multiple vehicles produced since 2007. According to NHTSA’s denial [PDF], regulators found “no valid evidence” to support the claims in the petition. Last August, the advocacy group filed a request for the investigation, contending that defects in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) could result in engine stalls, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire and other issues. Vehicles covered by the petition included Ram pickup trucks, Chrysler and Dodge minivans, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, as well as Dodge Durango and Journey SUVs. In September 2014, NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened an evaluation into the petition.
