Dodge is recalling 292,798 2008 Charger, Magnum, Commander, 300, and Grand Cherokee vehicles because the FOBIK ignition key can stick after start-up or move out of RUN while driving.

What's wrong?
The ignition key system in the 2008 Charger, Magnum, Commander, 300, and Grand Cherokee uses a FOBIK, a key fob that fits into the Wireless Ignition Node and turns the vehicle from off to start and then back to on. After the engine starts, that node is supposed to hold the key position so the engine and electrical systems stay powered while you drive.
In affected vehicles, the FOBIK does not fully return to the ON position after being turned to START. It can remain between positions, then move through RUN to ACCESSORY or OFF during driving. Chrysler was still investigating the root cause, but the recall identifies the ignition node and key fob design as the part area involved.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner first notices the problem when the vehicle loses engine power or electrical features after the ignition position changes.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the key slips out of the run position, the engine can shut off and key safety systems can lose power, including air bags, power steering, and power braking. That means harder steering, reduced braking assistance, and less crash protection. Schedule the ignition switch repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008 Dodge Charger, Magnum, Commander, 300, or Grand Cherokee is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule the free ignition switch and key FOB replacement that fixes the key sticking between START and ON.
- Bring the recall notice if Chrysler mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V567 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and stop in a safe place if the engine shuts off or steering or braking assist changes.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dodge technician replaces the ignition switch and the key fobs covered by recall 14V567. The work is meant to keep the key from sticking between START and ON, a condition that can let the ignition move out of RUN while the vehicle is being driven. The replacement parts and labor are covered under the recall, so there is no charge for the dealer repair. When you schedule service, ask the service desk to confirm that the ignition switch and key fobs are both included for your VIN.
