New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – ZB3

FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2022 Model Year (LD) DodgeeBay Charger and (WD) DodgeeBay Durango vehicles equipped with Police Group AHB (LD) or AYF (WD).

VINs identified as being involved in this campaign are currently live and searchable. Stop sale is in effect for the above-identified vehicles.

Vehicles impacted by a stop sale are eligible for reimbursement allowance through the Recall Floorplan Reimbursement Policy (RFPRP), which can be requested upon recall claim submission.

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

Some 2022 MY DodgeeBay Charger Pursuit vehicles and 2022 MY DodgeeBay Durango Pursuit vehicles may have been built with shifter assemblies that have insufficient heat-treating on the shifter pawls.

Shifter pawls that are not properly heat-treated may bend during use, which may prevent the shifter from properly engaging the DRIVE position detent. A shifter that has improperly engaged the DRIVE position detent may slip out of the DRIVE position while driving, resulting in an unexpected loss of motive power which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.

 

SERVICE ACTION

FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the shifter assembly. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 1st Quarter of 2023.
