Chrysler follows rival to create car safety office
Print Edition
CHRYSLER Group LLC announced the establishment of a new office called “vehicle safety and regulatory compliance” led by a veteran company senior vice president, Scott Kunselman.
The move comes as US automakers are under increased scrutiny over safety issues, and after Chrysler's cross-town rival, General Motors Co, established a similar office earlier this year.
“This action will help intensify the company’s continuing commitment to vehicle safety and regulatory compliance,” Chrysler said in a statement. Chrysler is fully owned by Fiat.
So far this year, Chrysler has recalled about 3.2 million vehicles in the United States, while GM has recalled about 25.8 million vehicles.
Prior to the establishment of the new office, Chrysler’s engineering group was responsible for vehicle safety and regulatory compliance.
“Effective immediately, this function will be served by a stand-alone organization,” with Kunselman reporting directly to Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, Chrysler said in its statement.
Kunselman has previously been senior vice president in charge of Chrysler’s North American purchasing and supplier quality.
