Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Drive

NHTSA recall information identifies two safety concerns associated with the 2016 Dodge Challenger. A Cruise Control defect could prevent the system from disengaging, while a Transmission Control Module defect involving certain performance-package or crate PCMs could also prevent disengagement.
