"Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has revealed that it paid a $77 million civil penalty because its passenger cars built in the U.S. failed to meet required fuel economy targets for the 2016 model year.
Their Large Cars(300, Charger and Challenger)are built in Canada. Only the Crew and Double cab 1500 Trucks are built in MI, ALL of the other trucks( single cab 1500's, and everything larger) are made in Mexico.

Ram vehicles are manufactured at three facilities, two in North America and one in Europe.
Warren Truck Assembly, Warren, Michigan, United States. First opened in 1938, the facility has produced trucks for Dodge and Ram for over 70 years. Near the plant are also the Warren metal stamping plant, Mount Elliot tool and die plant which contribute parts and components to the manufacture of the Dakota and 1500 series. The following models are currently assembled at the plant: Ram 1500 series, all crew cab and double cab models for the global market are assembled here except for the Ram 1500 Laramie, which is built at both the Warren facility and Ram's Saltillo Assembly for the Mexican market.
Saltillo Truck Assembly, Saltillo, Mexico. The plant manufactures the full range of the Ram truck series as well as the DX Chassis cab and ProMaster van. The plant has won numerous awards and has been recognized as the Chrysler groups best truck facility in terms of build quality.[9] The Saltillo stamping plant is also attached to the facility.
The following models are built at the plant:
Ram 1500 all regular cab models of various trim levels sold globally are manufactured at the facility as is the crew cab Ram 1500 Laramie for the Mexican market.
Ram 2500 all models of various trim levels, cab type, and bed length. Vehicles built here are sold globally.
Ram 3500 all models of various trim levels, cab type, and bed length. Vehicles built here are sold globally.
Ram 4500 all models of various trim levels, cab type, and bed length. Vehicles built here are sold globally.
Ram 5500 all models of various trim levels, cab type, and bed length. Vehicles built here are sold globally.
DX Chassis Cab manufactured for the Mexican and Canadian markets only.
Ram ProMaster
Challenger, Charger, and 300 are made at the Brampton plant in Canada. Durango and Grand Cherokee in Michigan at the Jefferson plant like another poster said.
I already stated that the LX Cars(based on the LX,LC,LD,LA platforms) are Canadian built.
and indeed someone posted where the Larger SUV's are made.(MI)
I didn't want to take the time to breakdown where every model is made, I was just trying to point out that, per the article, the fine was for vehicles built in the US.
then you made the comment about the switch to Large cars/pickups, etc.
I was merely trying to illustrate that most of the pickups, and the LX Cars aren't made in the US, and therefore the fine shouldn't have anything to do with them.(neither should the Caravan,or Pacifica, as they're also Canadian)
Keep in mind this fine was for 2016, so it would include models such as the Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee(Detroit,MI), Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, Jeep Cherokee (Toledo,OH), Dodge Dart, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot (Belvidere, IL), and the a fore mentioned Ram 1500 Crew and Double Cab (Warren, MI)( Truck assembly since moved to Sterling Heights to retool Warren to build the Jeep Wagoneer, and some HD Trucks, and Cherokee Production has moved to Belvidere)
