2006–2009 Dodge Charger & 2006–2009 Dodge Magnum recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Chrysler is recalling 20,283 my 2006-2009 Charger and Magnum vehicles built with the police package and equipped with a column shifter. The gearshift cable may become disengaged from the steering column mounting bracket and cause an incorrect transmission gearshift position display.
💥 The risk
This could allow the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction startling the driver, and cause a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will add a redundant locking mechanism to the gearshift cable at the mounting bracket to ensure proper retention and shift linkage function. The recall began on november 10, 2008. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
