Fiat Chrysler announced Friday it will replace driver's-side air-bag inflators in roughly 3.3 million vehicles worldwide.
Fiat Chrysler says it is aware of one related injury involving one of its vehicles, an older-model sedan. It occurred in a southern Florida region marked by persistent, high, absolute humidity – a condition believed to be a contributing factor in the air-bag deployments under investigation.
