Detroit – Fiat Chrysler Offers $100 Debit Cards To Owners Of Recalled U.S. Vehicles

Detroit – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is offering $100 prepaid debit cards to owners of recalled vehicles to help ensure cars and trucks with potential safety defects get repaired, the company said on Monday.

The U.S. arm of the automaker is also offering $1,000 in special discounts or incentives to the owners of recalled vehicles, if they choose to trade them in and buy a new car or truck.

Information on a vehicle’s eligibility for the enticements can be found through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website www.safercar.gov or the company website www.recalls.mopar.com.

Recalled vehicles involved in the program, identified through their unique Vehicle Identification Numbers, include Dodge Ram pickup trucks from the 2008 to 2012 model years.

Incentives on the purchase of a new Ram pickup are $2,000 when a recalled vehicle is traded in, the company said, and $1,000 for a Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat or other Dodge model.
