2013 Dodge Dart recalls

Recall 25V-674: Power Train

Reported Oct 9, 2025 · 298,439 vehicles affected · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Problem: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles. The shifter cable may detach from the transmission, preventing the vehicle from shifting into the park (P) position and causing a loss of park function.

Risk: A loss of park function may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Vehicles that were previously repaired under recall 19V293 will need to have the new remedy completed. Dealers will replace the shifter cable assembly and install a cap, free of charge. Interim notification letters, explaining the safety risk, were mailed November 6, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is A0C. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 16, 2025.

"URGENT COMPLIANCE ESCALATION FOR NHTSA ID: 11766087. My VIN lookup on Oct 09, 2026, explicitly shows Campaign 25V-674 is 'Incomplete, remedy not yet available.' However, a Chrysler corporate supervisor falsely informed me that my repair was frozen and sent to their 'legal department' because I filed a state consumer complaint. Chrysler is actively misleading consumers and weaponizing internal 'legal reviews' to mask their failure to provide a federally mandated safety recall remedy for a severe rollaway hazard on a vehicle that belonged to my late son who passed away in 2023. I demand federal…

Power Train · reported Sep 26, 2026
Vehicle is completely immobilized due to an unaddressed manufacturer safety recall (Recall A0C / Shift Cable Bushing). The manufacturer (FCA US LLC / Stellantis) states that official recall remedy parts remain unreleased and unavailable. The manufacturer refuses to provide direct corporate-billed interim transportation or corporate towing to an authorized dealership, insisting on out-of-pocket payment and reimbursement schemes. When challenged on zero-cost recall remedy mandates under 49 U.S.C. § 30120, corporate management executed a forced call termination.
