## What is wrong

FCA US LLC \(Chrysler\) is recalling certain model year 2011\-2016 Dodge Charger vehicles manufactured August 23, 2010, to January 7, 2016.  When an affected vehicle is lifted using the supplied tire jack without chocking the wheels, the vehicle's body\-side sill may give causing the tire jack to fail and the car to fall.


## What can happen

A car that falls unexpectedly increases the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will provide owners with wheel chocks and instructions for their use, free of charge.  The recall began on March 21, 2016.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is S03.
