## What is wrong

Chrysler Group LLC \(Chrysler\) is recalling certain model year 2013 Chrysler 300 AWD, Dodge Charger AWD, and Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 vehicles equipped with ZF all wheel drive \("AWD"\) 8HP45 transmissions.  In the affected vehicles, the transmission output shaft may fracture.


## What can happen

The transmission output shaft fracture could result in a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash.  Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park'.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the transmissions, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on March 31, 2014.  Customers may contact Chrysler at 1\-800\-853\-1403. Chrysler's recall number is N65.
