FCA US, formerly Chrysler Group, is recalling about 11,600 2015 model-year Dodge Challenger coupes so dealers can reprogram the instrument cluster with new software, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
Because of a software glitch, the instrument cluster in these vehicles might go into a reset condition and fail to check warning lamps during vehicle startup. The recall applies only to 2015 models built through Oct. 4.

Since the repair is software related and doesn’t require hoists, FCA US is encouraging dealers to consider alternative scheduling and servicing approaches to more readily complete the remedy.

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.
