This is really a non-story. Everyone needs to stop making ignorant claims about FCA since we don't know the full facts. I love seeing all the Ford and GM people on here claiming moral high ground.
We do know many of the facts. Apparently FCA cared enough about the sales streak to ensure it continued. Below is a change they are making on how they report fleet sales.
Previously the company had a "reserve" stock of cars that had been shipped to big fleet buyers such as rental car companies but not recorded as sales. Managers had the ability to move those sales from one month to the next to make sure the company reported positive sales numbers. "Fleet sales will now be recorded as sales upon shipment by FCA US of the vehicle to the customer," the company statement said.
