SUMMARY:
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2010 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Charger, Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee and Dodge RAM vehicles. These vehicles may have been built with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module exhibiting a binding condition of the solenoid latch.

CONSEQUENCE:
The result of the defect could lead to a condition where the key may be removed from the Ignition Switch (WIN MODULE) prior to placing the shifter in park. This could result in the potential for unintended vehicle movement and could increase the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect and replace the WIN Module free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during July 2010. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
