2013 DODGE DART Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Dodge Dart has 11 recalls, the most serious involving the transmission control module failing without warning and dropping the transmission into neutral, cutting drive power while the vehicle is moving. Two separate but related shifter cable issues also affect automatic transmission models: the cable can detach from the transmission, leaving the driver unable to shift gears, and the vehicle may roll away even after the driver selects Park. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the cable detachment issue, and some filings address the rollaway risk specifically. Vehicles with the 1.4L MultiAir turbo engine face an additional powertrain concern: in temperatures below roughly -7 degrees Celsius, the engine can stall and leave the driver without motive power. On the brake side, engine oil from the vacuum pump can seep into the brake booster and degrade the internal diaphragm, raising pedal effort and extending stopping distances. Separately, certain vehicles may have had the wrong rear brake calipers installed at the factory, which can prevent the parking brake from holding the car on a slope. Vehicles fitted with the Mopar 13 upfit package have one more concern: the front side airbag may not have been installed correctly and could fail to deploy properly in a crash.
