A loss of park function may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

If the shifter cable detaches from the transmission, the vehicle may not perform the shifts performed by the driver. Additionally, despite selecting PARK with the shifter, the vehicle may roll away. These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash.

EQUIPMENT

If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2016 DODGE DARTs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
