????周三，就在通用汽車（General Motors）CEO瑪麗?巴拉就公司的點(diǎn)火開關(guān)問題向美國國會提供更多細(xì)節(jié)之際，美國安全監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)已經(jīng)開始對底特律另外一家汽車公司展開調(diào)查，它就是克萊斯勒（Chrysler）。

????Administration, NHTSA）稱，這兩項調(diào)查針對的是汽車安全氣囊問題。裝配在100萬多輛Jeep、道奇（Dodge）和克萊斯勒車型汽車上的一種存在缺陷的開關(guān)可能妨礙安全氣囊正確彈出。

????NHSTA稱，目前尚未發(fā)現(xiàn)與此安全問題相關(guān)的傷亡。

????NHSTA還表示，這些調(diào)查是“與汽車制造商和供應(yīng)商就氣囊設(shè)計和汽車點(diǎn)火開關(guān)位置相關(guān)性能進(jìn)行溝通后的結(jié)果。”這個政府機(jī)構(gòu)還補(bǔ)充說，作為NHTSA更深入評估這一問題的一部分內(nèi)容，它檢測了所有主要制造商的氣囊與開關(guān)位置相關(guān)的彈開部署。

????克萊斯勒還發(fā)布了一份聲明稱，該公司“正等待從（NHTSA）獲得更多信息。它準(zhǔn)備全力配合此項調(diào)查。”目前還不清楚調(diào)查是否將導(dǎo)致克萊斯勒車型汽車的召回。

????與此同時，通用汽車已在進(jìn)行產(chǎn)品召回，如今全球已召回超過2,000萬輛汽車。通用汽車從今年2月開始產(chǎn)品召回，而且已經(jīng)涉及13名個人的死亡和54起撞車事故。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????As General Motors’ CEO Mary Barra offered up more details about her company’s switch issues before lawmakers on Wednesday, U.S. safety regulators have started investigating a second Detroit auto company, Chrysler.

????The two probes are examining air bag issues in which a defective switch may prevent the safety device from properly deploying in over 1 million Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler models, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

????There are no deaths or injuries associated with the safety issues, the NHSTA said.

????The NHSTA also said that the investigations “are an outcome of communication with automotive manufacturers and suppliers regarding airbag design and performance related to the position of the vehicle ignition switch.” The agency added, “As part of NHTSA’s broader efforts to evaluate this issue, the agency examined all major manufacturers’ airbag deployment strategies as they relate to switch position.”

????Chrysler also released a statement saying that it is “awaiting additional information from (NHTSA). The company is prepared to cooperate fully with the investigation.” It is currently unknown whether or not the investigations will lead to recalls of the Chrysler models.

????The General Motors GM -0.17% recalls, meanwhile, now include over 20 million vehicles worldwide. They started in February, and have been linked to the deaths of 13 individuals and 54 crashes.
