NHTSA recall 16V202000
Electrical System, Power Train · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: A low-voltage electrical harness connector by the front driver seat may be susceptible to water intrusion and corrosion. Corrosion may result in a loss of communication to the transmission control module (tcm) and may cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into and stay in neutral without warning the next time that the vehicle stops.
Why it matters: An unintended shift into neutral will prevent the vehicle from being moved. Additionally, if the driver turns off the engine, the driver will be unable to restart the engine. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the harness connector to under the instrument panel, free of charge. The recall began on June 3, 2016.
