20,283 vehicles recalled

2008 DODGE MAGNUM -- Chrysler is recalling 20,283 MY 2006-2009 charger and Magnum vehicles built with the police package and equipped with a column shifter. The gearshift cable may become disengaged from the steering column mounting bracket and cause an incorrect transmission gearshift position display.

This could allow the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction startling the driver, and cause a crash without warning.

Dealers will add a redundant locking mechanism to the gearshift cable at the mounting bracket to ensure proper retention and shift linkage function. The recall began on November 10, 2008. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #08V583000 »
