What's wrong?
The gearshift control cable in a 2013-2016 Dodge Dart links the floor shifter to the automatic transmission. When you move the shifter into park, that cable pulls the transmission linkage into the park position so the vehicle stays held after you release the brake.
On affected Darts, the shift cable can detach from the transmission. When that connection opens, the shifter no longer controls the transmission linkage correctly. The vehicle can appear to be in park while the transmission is not locked in park, causing a loss of park function or movement in an unintended direction.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the cable separates, the driver cannot count on the shifter position alone to confirm that the Dart is secured in park.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2013 through 2016 Dart model years with the same gearshift-control cable tied to the automatic transmission.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
A loss of park function can let the Dart roll away after it is parked, increasing the risk of a crash. Until the final remedy opens, set the parking brake and confirm the vehicle is secure before you walk away. Repair will be free at any franchised Dodge dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2016 Dodge Dart is included in this recall.
- Watch for Dodge's second notice before scheduling the final shifter-cable remedy; Dodge says the repair is still under development.
- Contact a franchised Dodge dealer with recall number 25V674 and ask how to keep the Dart secured until the final free remedy opens.
- Use the parking brake every time you park, and avoid leaving the Dart on a slope until the final remedy is complete.
- Keep paperwork from any 19V293 repair, because Dodge says those vehicles still need the new remedy once it opens.
What happens at the repair
The final dealer repair is still being developed, so Dodge has not given dealers the final repair steps yet. Once the remedy opens, a Dodge technician will complete the new shifter cable remedy for the park function issue. The final dealer repair will be free once available, and a second notice will be sent when Dodge is ready to perform it. Because the manufacturer used its general reimbursement plan on file, documented out of pocket repairs tied to this defect are handled through that standard plan. Keep repair paperwork for the service desk or customer care review.
