FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 58,016 vehicles in the U.S. to update certain powertrain software that will help prevent engine stall.
An FCA investigation discovered the tone wheel in a small percentage of engines may, over time, lose magnetic material. Should this occur, it may disrupt signal transmission to a sensor that monitors crankshaft position – a condition that may contribute to engine stall.

Additional vehicles will be subject to recall in Canada (est. 22,079) and certain markets outside North America (est. 51,879), a population that also includes model-year 2014-2019 Chrysler 300 full-size sedans equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines.
