Shares of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles crashed today as the Environmental Protection Agency accused the company\u00a0of violating U.S. laws by using software to help its diesel vehicles meet emissions standards in lab tests. Bloomberg News reports that the company’s liability could be as much as $4.6 billion, which comes just days after Volkswagen AG agreed to pay $4.3 billion to settle claims of similar violations.<\/p>\n
The company denied the allegations and said it will present its case to the incoming administration. Fiat may or may not fare better under a Trump EPA than Volkswagen did under the Obama EPA, but damage to the stock has already been done, and uncertainty will cast a cloud over Fiat’s stock price for some time to come. Shares traded down as much as 18% earlier today.<\/p>\n
