DETROIT —

Fiat

Chrysler is

recalling

more than 60,000 cars and SUVs worldwide because they can keep going on cruise control or accelerate even after a driver taps the brakes.

The recall covers certain

Alfa Romeo Giulia

and

Stelvio

models from 2017 through 2019.

The company says a software error caused the problem, and it’s advising people not to use the adaptive cruise control until it’s

repaired

. The feature keeps moving vehicles a set distance from the cars in front of them.

Fiat Chrysler says it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem. Adaptive cruise control can still be turned off by stepping on the brakes for a longer time.

Owners will be notified next month when they can schedule an update to the

brake system

software. If you believe your vehicle might be affected, you can contact your

dealership

or

look it up by VIN at the NHTSA’s recall website. Related Video:
