Dodge is once again recalling nearly 300,000 Dodge Darts across the United States due to a renewed rollaway risk linked to faulty transmission shifter cables. The issue mirrors a previous 2019 recall, raising fresh concerns for owners of the compact sedan.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall affects 2013 to 2016 Dodge Darts equipped with automatic transmissions. A defect in the shift cable may cause it to disconnect, preventing the car from being properly placed in Park. This malfunction increases the risk of the vehicle unintentionally rolling away after being turned off.

A Familiar Problem for Dodge

The Dodge Dart, which ended production in 2016, was already part of a major recall six years ago for the same issue. However, new reports suggest that the earlier fix may not have permanently solved the problem.
 In recent months, NHTSA received a series of new complaints from Dodge Dart owners reporting shifter failures even after repairs from the 2019 recall.

Stellantis, Dodge’s parent company, confirmed that a faulty bushing within the shift cable can degrade over time, allowing the cable to detach. While no injuries or accidents have been officially linked to the defect, the company acknowledges the potential safety risk.

Stellantis Responds to the Dodge Dart Recall

Stellantis has voluntarily issued this 2025 Dodge recall and is currently working on a new permanent fix. Dealers across the U.S. are being informed starting October 16, 2025.
 Owners can check whether their Dodge Dart is part of the recall by entering their VIN on the official NHTSA recall lookup website beginning the same day.

Notices to registered owners are expected to be mailed by November 6, 2025. Stellantis has assured customers that all repairs related to the Dodge recall will be performed free of charge once replacement parts are available.

The Unusual Case of the Dodge Dart

Even though the Dodge Dart was discontinued nearly a decade ago, sales records show that a handful of brand-new units—six, to be exact—were still sold in the U.S. in the past three months.
 Those few “zombie” Darts are now also part of the new recall campaign, highlighting just how persistent the shift-cable problem has been for the brand.

For Dodge, the recall serves as both a safety measure and a reminder of how important follow-through is when maintaining trust among drivers who still rely on aging models.

What Dodge Owners Should Do Now

If you own a 2013–2016 Dodge Dart, check your vehicle identification number (VIN) through the official NHTSA recall site or contact your local Dodge dealer. Avoid leaving your car in Neutral or on an incline until the repair is completed.

This new Dodge recall shows that even after nearly a decade off the market, older models can still pose modern risks — and that staying informed remains key for every driver.
