FCA US is recalling 22,107 2015 model-year Chrysler 200 sedans in the U.S., all equipped with a V-6 engine, because of potential difficulty shifting into park.
The problem stems from inconsistent manufacturing procedures at a supplier’s plant, FCA US said in a released statement. There have been five reports of customers unable to shift their vehicle into park. The automaker added that it is unaware of any related injuries or accidents.

FCA US is also recalling 3,600 Chrysler 200 vehicles in Canada and 213 in Mexico for the same problem.
To resolve the issue, dealers will conduct inspections and replace transmissions when necessary. There will be no charge for these services.
In the interim, the automaker advises owners of 2015 Chrysler 200 sedans with V-6 engines to activate the car’s parking brake before shutting off the engine. This is because the shifter may incorrectly indicate park is engaged, FCA US said.
Vehicle owners can reach FCA US at (800) 853-1403.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
