Fiat is hitting the reset button on the 500L Urbana

Fiat is refreshing something most people probably never even knew existed: the "Urbana" 500L. For 2019, the Urbana Edition offers a value-minded black-out appearance package in attempts to jazz up the less-than-jazzy XXL 500. Fiat first introduced the 500L Urbana Trekking style package in 2014 for the 2015 model year. Since its introduction, the included trimmings have slightly changed, but the idea remains the same: a style package that aggregates numerous add-ons for a discount price. On 2018 models, the $395 option offered 17-inch black wheels, a black roof, and black side mirrors. Now called the Urbana Edition, the package is still only available on the Trekking trim but now costs $595. It offers gloss black 17-inch wheels, Miron Black door handle accents, black side-body trim, black fog lamps, black side mirrors, and blacked-out fascias. The Urbana Edition is available in black Bronzo Metallizato, Bianco, Grigio Scuro, Verde Bosco, and a contrasting black roof remains optional. Inside, Fiat only added minor changes. Black leather seats have contrasting copper stitching, and the dashboard features a copper 500 logo to signify the special edition. The updated 2019 Fiat 500L Urbana Edition will be available starting this spring.

Dodge recalling 2k SRT Hellcat Challengers and Chargers for fuel leak

Bad news for fans of the obscene output of the Dodge Hellcat twins, as FCA has announced a voluntary recall of both 707-horsepower variants of the 2015-model-year Charger sedan and Challenger coupe. According to FCA, a total of 2,211 cars are being recalled after a dealer discovered a "possible fuel leak" during a pre-delivery inspection. Despite getting cleared by suppliers, FCA claims its engineers found "improperly installed" hose seals. Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification and be asked to report in for repairs. Of the vehicles affected, the overwhelming majority, 2,012, were sold in the US market. The remainder were sold in Canada (148), Mexico (30) and just 21 outside of North America.

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand

Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.
