Chrysler has formed a new group that will focus on vehicle safety and regulatory compliance, reports Detroit Free Press.
In addition, the automaker appointed John Nigro as its new product development chief.
The new safety group will be led by Scott Kunselman.
According to Chrysler, Kunselman will report to CEO Sergio Marchionne. He also will remain part of the Chrysler’s North American leadership team.
Chrysler follows General Motors, which created a similar safety group in March in the wake of its recall of 2.6 million small cars equipped with defective ignition switches.
