JAKARTA - Withdrawal or recall is not only in the new car model, but also for models that have been injected dead. Like Dodge which is part of Stellantis.

According to a report from Carscoops, quoted on Thursday, October 16, Dodge had to recall nearly 300,000 thousand vehicles in the United States, some of whom were more than a decade old.

So what makes it have to make a recall? Safety regulators report defects on dental transfer cables on some Dart models. This recall includes models made for the 2013-2016 production year, but only automatic transmissions.

An investigation found the cable could be detached from transmission and prevented dental voters from being completely locked into the parking lot, meaning the vehicle could roll even as the driver thought the vehicle was safe to move.

To handle the above, Dodge will request 298,439 units of compact cars affected by dealers, a place some Dart has not visited in years because this one model has been injected dead since 2016.

This recall is nothing new, in 2019 Dodge also recalled 320,000 Dart units due to the same problem. But for now only automatic transmission is affected.

However, after receiving further incident reports, NHTSA opened an investigation this summer. As a result, drivers are advised to activate parking brakes when leaving their Dart on any incline and ensure that the pressneling lever is really in a parking position.
