DECEMBER
2008 -- Chrysler is
recalling 176 MY 2009
Dodge Charger,
Challenger, and Chrysler
300 vehicles. The tire
pressure monitor (TPM)
sensors may not transmit
the actual tire
pressure. This could
result in the driver not
being aware of low tire
pressure. Operation of
the vehicle with low
tire pressure could
result in tire damage
and cause a crash
without warning. Dealers
will replace the TPM
sensors. The recall is
expected to begin during
January 2009.

SEPTEMBER 2008 --
Chrysler is recalling
6,636 MY 2008-2009 Dodge
Challenger vehicles
equipped with automatic
transmissions and
"Keyless Go" option.
These vehicles failed to
conform to the
requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 114, "Theft
Prevention." If the
stop/start button is
pressed and held and the
engine turns off, the
electronic key code is
removed from the
vehicle. Since this can
occur in a transmission
or gear selector
position other than
"park," and the
transmission or gear
selector does not become
locked in "park" as a
direct result of key
removal, it was
determined that a
noncompliance may exist.
This standard specifies
vehicle performance
requirements intended to
reduce the incidence of
crashes resulting from
theft and accidental
rollaway of motor
vehicles. Dealers will
reprogram the wireless
ignition node module so
the engine can only be
turned off when the
transmission and gear
selector is in the
"park" position. The
recall is expected to
begin during October
2008. 08V458
