Brazil Fiat fined, ordered to recall faulty wheels

The maximum fine that can be levied by the Consumer Defense and Protection Department, is justified “considering the automaker denied the presence of a defect and failed to make the recall, jeopardizing the health and safety of its customers,” the ministry said in a statement.
