Utilimaster recall: Power train
What is wrong
Shyft Group (Shyft) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Utilimaster Ram ProMaster fleet vehicles. The transmission shifter cable may separate and disconnect from the transmission, causing the vehicle to not perform shifts intended by the driver and the gear shift lever position not matching the actual transmission gear.
What could happen
The driver may be unaware of the actual gear position and unintended vehicle movement can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Shyft will notify owners, and FCA dealers will replace the transmission shift cable, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact Shyft Group at 1-800-582-3454. Shyft Group's number for this recall is 20-08.
