NHTSA recall 05V462000
Power Train · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: On certain pickup trucks equipped with diesel engines and automatic transmissions, in an attempt to exit the vehicle quickly without shutting off the engine and removing the key, the driver may inadvertently leave the automatic transmission shift control in indicated reverse.
Why it matters: This error is an unintended action that may result in a lack of transmission park pawl engagement and possibly delayed rearward movement of the vehicle.
The fix: Dealers will perform a software modification to equip these vehicles with an out-of-park alarm.
