EcoDiesel Emissions Compliance Record

PROBLEM: Fiat Chrysler agreed in January 2019 to an approximately $800 million settlement with the DOJ, EPA, and California over undisclosed software in 2014–2016 Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel vehicles (about 104,000 vehicles) that limited emissions controls during laboratory testing while allowing excess nitrogen-oxide emissions on the road (DOJ/EPA, January 10, 2019). The settlement included a $305 million civil penalty and a recall to repair the vehicles. The undisclosed software was not in the compliance record regulators reviewed.

SOLUTION: An emissions-compliance record in Storage Copy Data Management that stores immutable copies of every auxiliary emission-control device disclosure, software version, and test submission, so regulators and auditors can compare exactly what was filed against what shipped, with version drift flagged automatically.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — DOJ/EPA/California settlement announced January 10, 2019 (~$800 million total; $305 million civil penalty; ~104,000 vehicles recalled).
