Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCA) (FCHA.MI) said on Friday it would recall more than 1.25 million pickup trucks worldwide to address a software error linked to reports of one crash death and two injuries.The erroneous code could temporarily disable the side air bag and deployment seat of belt pretensioners – whoch reduce seat belt slack during impacts – during a vehicle rollover spurred by a significant underbody impact, such as striking onroad debris or driving off-road, the Italian-American automaker said.The company will reprogram computer modules in the affected vehicles to address this error.An FCA spokesman said the likelihood of an incident was very low because a sequence of events was needed to cause an incident.There is no definitive proof the error was involved in two accidents, one of whoch resulted in a fatality, but the automaker was conducting the recall proactively, he said.
