On June 17, Stellantis fell 5.11% in regular trading, trading at $6.68/share, with turnover of $146 million.
On the news front, Stellantis announced on June 9 a global recall of over 1.3 million Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles due to fire risks stemming from an electrical connector defect in the electric hydraulic power steering pump wiring harness. Approximately 1.08 million vehicles in the U.S. market are affected, along with 106,000 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico, and roughly 125,000 in other global markets. At least 72 vehicle fire incidents have been linked to the defect. The company has urged owners to park vehicles away from buildings or other vehicles until repairs are completed, with full recall remediation expected by July at the latest.
Adding to the pressure, the lead plaintiff application deadline for a securities fraud class action lawsuit against the company expired on June 8, compounding negative sentiment. Within the Automobile Manufacturers sector, the broader group traded lower, with Tesla down 1.25%, Ford down 2.14%, General Motors down 1.86%, Rivian down 4.23%, and NIO down 3.85%.
