CINCINNATI (WKRC) — Dodge has recalled nearly 300,000 vehicles due to a safety issue that may prevent them from being properly parked, posing a risk of unintended movement and potential collisions.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), on October 9, 298,439 Dodge Dart vehicles from 2013 to 2016 were part of the recall. A problem with the shift cable could result in a loss of connection, allowing the vehicle to roll freely if it is not securely parked.
“A loss of park function and/or vehicle movement in an unintended direction can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside the vehicle,” the NHTSA stated.
The remedy for affected customers is still being developed, and vehicle owners can expect notifications around November 6.
