What's wrong, in plain English

In some Dodge Charger and Durango vehicles, the shifter assembly was not heat-treated properly. Because of this, the shifter may not fully engage in the 'drive' position. A shifter that is not properly engaged can slip out of drive on its own, causing the vehicle to suddenly lose the power needed to keep moving. This loss of drive power can happen while the vehicle is being driven.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a dealer, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V866000.
