Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address the Safety Risk

NHTSA reports two recall concerns for the 2016 Dodge Challenger. The Cruise Control recall involves a defect that may keep cruise control from disengaging, while the Transmission Control Module recall involves certain PCMs that may create the same inability to shut off cruise control if a wiring short occurs. In either situation, the vehicle could maintain speed or accelerate despite the driver’s efforts, increasing the risk of a crash. Waiting to check your VIN leaves uncertainty in place and may mean continuing to use a system affected by a safety recall. Avoid cruise control until the applicable software update or PCM remedy is completed.
