CARS.COM

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 7,800 model-year 2017 Dodge Challenger sports coupes equipped with 5.7-liter V-8 engines and eight-speed automatic transmissions

The Problem: The transmission may not remain in the Park position; if that gear is selected while the engine is still running and the driver exits the vehicle without the parking brake set, the vehicle may roll, increasing the risk of an injury or crash.

The Fix: Dealers will update the transmission control module software for free.

What Owners Should Do: Dodge manufacturer Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will begin notifying owners Aug. 21. Owners can call the automaker at 800-853-1403, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
