The South Korean government has forbidden Fiat Chrysler Automobiles from selling its Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X models in the South Korean market due to emissions fraud. The Ministry of Environment has also levied a fine of 7.3 billion won (US$6.14 million) on the carmaker. The ministry ordered an investigation into the company’s emissions testing for the Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X in March 2015. Volkswagen misled consumers by manipulating emissions tests in a similar way in November of 2015. (provided by the Ministry of Environment)
