FCA recalls more than 412,000 model year 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokee and 2015 Chrysler 200, Jeep Renegade and RAM ProMaster vehicles equipped with 9-speed automatic transmissions since they can suddenly slip into neutral.
The transmission sensor clusters may have insufficient crimps in the transmission wire harness, and as a result, the transmission may unexpectedly shift into neutral. Two Mexican supplier operations are involved in the safety defect.
Chrysler will notify owners, dealers will update the transmission software to prevent the transmission from shifting into neutral due to a faulty crimp, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on August 26, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler’s number for this recall is S55.
