Illegal “defeat devices” will cost Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) NV about $800 million in settlement expenses, after the U.S. government discovered the American carmaker had used the technology to produce fake results on diesel emissions tests.
The settlement includes $311 million in total civil penalties to the United States and California regulators, up to $280 million for FCA diesel vehicle owners, and extended warranties worth $105 million.
