Stellantis Recalls 298,000 Dodge Darts for Shift-Cable Fault That Can Cause Rollaway

Owner letters will follow in early November, with a new repair plan still being finalized.

Overview

  • The recall covers 298,439 Dodge Dart cars from model years 2013–2016 in the U.S., with affected vehicles built between February 2012 and October 2016.
  • A defective transmission shift cable can detach or fail, preventing the selector from engaging Park and creating a risk of unintended vehicle movement.
  • Stellantis will brief dealers on October 16 and notify owners between November 6 and 13; the NHTSA campaign number is 25V674000.
  • This action follows a 2019 recall to replace shifter cable bushings, after which additional reports prompted further regulatory scrutiny.
  • Stellantis says it has no reports of crashes or injuries tied to the issue and advises drivers to use the parking brake and confirm the car is in Park until repairs are available.
