NHTSA recall 13V175000
Electrical System, Power Train · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.
Why it matters: If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013.
