AutoNation Inc. granted Chief Executive Officer Cheryl Miller a leave of absence for health reasons and said its long-time former CEO would replace her until she returns.

Miller, 47, requested the leave on Sunday, and her replacement by Executive Chairman Mike Jackson is effective Monday, the largest U.S. auto-dealership group said in a regulatory filing. Jackson, 71, was CEO of the company for an almost 20-year period ending in March 2019.
