Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 08V458000 by Chrysler (fca Us, Llc). Includes 6,636 affected units, FMVSS 114/AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION KEY REMOVAL, component: POWER TRAIN, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

Chrysler is recalling 6,636 my 2008-2009 dodge challenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions and "keyless go" option. these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 114, "theft prevention." if the stop/start button is pressed and held and the engine turns off, the electronic key code is removed from the vehicle. since this can occur in a transmission or gear selector position other than "park," and the transmission or gear selector does not become locked in "park" as a direct result of key removal, it was determined that a noncompliance may exist.

Corrective Action

Dealers will reprogram the wireless ignition node module so the engine can only be turned off when the transmission and gear selector is in the "park" position. the recall began on september 15, 2008. owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
