Vehicles Affected: Approximately 440,000 model-year 2011-16 Dodge Charger sedans
The Problem: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is conducting a voluntary recall to supply wheel chocks for the affected vehicles. Per instructions in the vehicle’s owner’s manual, the chocks are employed when using a tire jack to change wheels. When positioned diagonally opposite the wheel being changed, the chocks help stabilize the vehicle. FCA says failure to follow the manual’s instructions may cause the vehicle to come off of the tire jack. The automaker said it is aware of three minor injuries related to this issue.
The Fix: Dealers will supply the wheel chocks for free.
What Owners Should Do: FCA did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 800-853-1403 for more info.
