DETROIT—Fiat Chrysler is adding 13,000 Maseratis to a recall of
vehicles with confusing gear shifters like one in the SUV that
crushed and killed "Star Trek" actor Anton Yelchin.
The company says it is adding 2014 and 2015 Quattroporte and
Ghibli sedans to the recall under pressure from the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The cars have the same gear shifters that caused the recall of
1.1 million FCA vehicles world-wide in April. That recall came
after drivers complained that they couldn't tell if the
transmission was in "park" after stopping.
Maserati says it is doing the recall even though it has no
complaints of cars rolling away unexpectedly.
Mr. Yelchin died Sunday after his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
pinned him against a mailbox pillar at his home in Los Angeles.
