May 24, 2018—Fiat Chrysler is recalling 4.8 million vehicles over an issue that could prevent drivers from turning off cruise control, CNN Money reports.

Only one incident related to the malfunction has been reported to Fiat Chrysler, and there are no reported injuries.

The issue can be triggered when a driver taps on the gas pedal while cruise control is activated, the company said, potentially causing a short circuit.
