## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2012\-2013 Fiat 500 vehicles equipped with 6\-speed automatic transmissions.  The shifter cable bushing may fail allowing the cable to detach from the transmission.


## What can happen

If the shifter cable detaches from the transmission, the transmission may not shift into the gear selected by the driver.  Additionally, despite selecting PARK with the shifter, the vehicle may roll away.  These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shifter cable adjuster, free of charge.  The recall began January 9, 2020.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is VB4.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
