Dodge Recall 07V-555: Power train – column shift

Affected: 2001–2002 Dodge Dakota, 2001–2002 Dodge Durango, 2002 Dodge Ram and 1 more. Filed with NHTSA on December 4, 2007, covering about 576,418 vehicles.

The problem

On certain van and pickup 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.

The risk

Either of these conditions could allow the vehicle to roll away causing a crash without warning.

The fix

Dealers will replace the gearshift blocker and bracket assembly free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. Owners May contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
