NHTSA recall 16V249000
Exterior Lighting, Power Train · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: The brake transmission shift interlock solenoid may have a loose electrical connection which could result in a loss of solenoid function.
Why it matters: If the solenoid loses function, the transmission may lock in the park or neutral position when the vehicle comes to a stop, possibly rendering the vehicle disabled in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shifter assembly, free of charge. The recall began on May 27, 2016.
