Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling an estimated 71 2018 Dodge Charger, Durango and Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Ram 1500 vehicles because the wrong transmission park lock rod may have been installed in the transmission.
With this scenario, the transmission may not shift into the "park" position and may not immobilize the vehicle. Any unintended vehicle movement increases the likelihood of a crash.
To remedy the problem, FCA will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct park lock rod at no cost to customers.
The recall begins June 20. Owners can reach FCA customer service at (800) 853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is U43.
