2013 Dodge Dart recalls

Power train: automatic transmission, lever and linkage, floor shift

NHTSA campaign 25V674000 · reported October 9, 2025 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) · 298,439 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles. The shifter cable may detach from the transmission, preventing the vehicle from shifting into the park (P) position and causing a loss of park function.
The risk: A loss of park function may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Vehicles that were previously repaired under recall 19V293 will need to have the new remedy completed. Dealers will replace the shifter cable assembly and install a cap, free of charge. Interim notification letters, explaining the safety risk, were mailed November 6, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is A0C. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 16, 2025.
