(Reuters) -Stellantis is recalling 298,439 vehicles in the U.S. due to a shifter cable defect that could disable the park function and allow the vehicle to roll away, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.
The shifter cable may detach from the transmission, preventing the vehicle from shifting into the park position, the NHTSA said.
The recall covers certain 2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles, the auto safety regulator said, adding that a remedy is currently under development.
Stellantis had to recall over 123,000 Jeep vehicles last month due to the risk posed by detached trim pieces.
