30,000 of these sedans have been recalled over this safety concern. Check to see now if your vehicle has been affected. Vehicle recalls are an essential service that automobile companies and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) orchestrate together in order to identify any problems that may pertain to a number of vehicles, usually due to a manufacturing error. These recalls ensure that vehicle owners are notified that their vehicle may pose a hazard on the road and that the problem must be addressed immediately.
These sedans were recalled along with other vehicles over safety concerns
While not always the best publicity performance for an automobile company when a vehicle receives a recall, it is essential that automobile companies maintain transparency and honesty with their consumers in order to protect all lives on the road. Vehicle recalls are a routine safety procedure that must be conducted, whether it be for a minor software issue or a more major problem pertaining to the engine of the vehicle.
These recalls are not unusual, and this year alone has seen a number of automobile companies conduct vehicle recalls. The NHTSA follows the following steps when conducting a vehicle recall:
- Complaints from vehicle owners are added to a database. If enough of the same complaints pertaining to the same vehicle models and makes are collected, the NHTSA will open an investigation.
- An investigation from the NHTSA will open and go through the following phases: Screening, Analysis, Investigation, and Recall Management.
- A safety recall is initiated, and the vehicle manufacturer is required to attend to the issue
One significant recall, which was announced earlier this month, was over 123,000 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer 2022-2024 models produced between February 24, 2021, and February 29, 202,4 by Stellantis North America (FCA US LLC). Owners are set to be notified that their vehicle has been affected between November 14, 2025 and November 19, 2025.
30,000 sedans recalled over a rollaway risk
While you may be in the clear if you are not a Jeep owner, you may not be in the clear if you own a Dodge Dart sedan. Parent company Stellantis recently announced that these sedans are set to be recalled over a shifter cable problem in those models produced between 2013 and 2016. These cables pose a risk of becoming detached from the transmission, which subsequently prevents the vehicles from being shifted into Park. This increases the risk of a rollaway occurring, which can cause serious injuries and fatalities.
Affected vehicle owners will be mailed a notice that their vehicle is at risk on November 6, 2025. Over 298,000 vehicles have been identified with this problem. This is a follow-up recall pertaining to the same problem, first investigated between 2018 and 2019.
What to do if your vehicle gets recalled
If you receive a recall notification from your relevant vehicle manufacturer, it is essential that you bring the vehicle in as soon as possible to your closest dealership in order to ensure that the problem is attended to as fast as possible. While some software problems can be attended to ‘over-the-air’ whereby you do not need to physically bring the vehicle in, if it is a manufacturing problem, it will need to be attended to in person.
Importantly, vehicle owners are not expected to pay for any associated repairs that their vehicle may need. You will not be charged for any changes which your vehicle may require, and if you are instructed to do so, you must be aware that you are at risk of being a victim of fraud. Make sure that you continue to check the NHTSA website to confirm if your vehicle may be subject to a recall.
