DECEMBER
2008 -- Chrysler is
recalling 176 MY 2009 Dodge
Charger, Challenger, and
Chrysler 300 vehicles. The
tire pressure monitor (TPM)
sensors may not transmit the
actual tire pressure. This
could result in the driver
not being aware of low tire
pressure. Operation of the
vehicle with low tire
pressure could result in

NOVEMBER
2008 -- 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. This could
allow the vehicle to move in
an unexpected direction
startling the driver, and
cause a crash without
warning. Dealers will add a
redundant locking mechanism
to the gearshift cable at
the mounting bracket to
ensure proper retention and
shift linkage function. The

NOVEMBER
2008 -- Sprinter is
recalling 6,101 MY 2007
Dodge and Freightliner
Sprinter 2500 and 3500
utility vans. The crankshaft
sensor in certain diesel
engines could fail due to
separation of bond wires
from the lead frame in the
sensor. This results in an
interruption in the
electrical connection in the
chip housing of the sensor.
When this happens, the
vehicles may lose power
rather than enter a
limp-home mode. In addition,
the vehicle cannot be
restarted after failure of
the electrical connection in
the sensor, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will replace the crankshaft
sensors. The recall is
expected to begin during
February 2008. 07V594
SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Chrysler is recalling 6,636
MY 2008-2009 Dodge
Challenger vehicles equipped
with automatic transmissions
and "Keyless Go" option.
These vehicles failed 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.
This standard specifies
vehicle performance
requirements intended to
reduce the incidence of
crashes resulting from theft
and accidental rollaway of
motor vehicles. 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
is expected to begin during
October 2008. 08V458
SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Chrysler is recalling 3,663
MY 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and
MY 2008 Jeep Liberty
vehicles equipped with
manual transmissions. The
park brake lever clutch drum
may distort and reduce the
effectiveness of the park
brake system. This could
allow the vehicle to move
inadvertently and cause a
crash without warning.
Dealers will replace the
park brake lever assembly
free of charge. The parking
brakes were manufactured in
Canada. The recall began on
October 27, 2008. 08V525
SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Chrysler is recalling 712 MY
2009 Sebring, Dodge Caliber,
Avenger, Journey, Jeep
Patriot, and Compass
vehicles. A new adhesive

cause the engine to stall
and cause a crash without
warning. Dealers will
replace the PCM free of
charge. The recall is
expected to begin during
November 2008.
JULY
2008 -- Chrysler is
recalling 5,509 MY 2008 300,
Dodge Magnum, and Charger
vehicles. The torque
retention crimp feature was
missed during the
manufacture of one lot of
rear axle hub nuts. This
could cause the nuts to
loosen allowing the
halfshaft to disengage from
the wheel hub. This could
cause the vehicle to lose
power and result in a crash
without warning. Dealers
will replace the rear axle
hub nuts. The recall is
expected to begin during
August 2008. 08V295
JUNE
2008 --
Chrysler is
recalling 6,692 MY 2009

corroded and could short
circuit, which can cause a
variety of conditions
including engine no-start,
dead battery, an inoperative
cruise control or remote
start system, and/or engine
stalling. Engine stalling
could cause a crash without
warning. Dealers will seal
the wires for the TPMS free
of charge. The recall began
on April 15, 2008. Owners
may contact Chrysler at
1-800-853-1403. 08V152 DECEMBER 2007 -- Chrysler is recalling 576,418 MY
2001-2002 Dakota, Durango, Ram van and MY 2002 Ram pick-up
trucks equipped with automatic transmissions. The ignition/park
shift interlock system may become inoperative. This can allow
the shifter to be moved out of the "park" position with the
ignition key removed (or in the "lock" position). This can also
allow the ignition key to be removed when the shifter has not
been placed in the "park" position. Either of these conditions
could allow the vehicle to roll away causing a crash without
warning. Dealers will replace the gearshift blocker and bracket
assembly. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008.
