Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokee and 2015 Chrysler 200, Jeep Renegade, RAM ProMaster, and 2016 Fiat 500X vehicles equipped with 9-speed automatic transmissions.

If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there is an increased risk of a crash.
CORRECTIVE SUMMARY:
