What Happened
The park lock rod is a critical part in your transmission that helps hold your vehicle in 'PARK' gear. In some 2018 models of the Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles listed, the wrong version of this rod might have been installed.
Risk if Unfixed
If the incorrect park lock rod is in your vehicle, it may not hold your transmission in 'PARK' when you think it is. This means your vehicle could roll away unexpectedly, even if you're standing next to it, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the incorrect park lock rod with the correct one, and this repair is completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
