Fiat Chrysler Australia has announced that it will add over 47,000 Australian delivered Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300 vehicles to a global recall action affecting 1.1 million vehicles.

The recall covers Chrysler 300 models built between 2012 and 2014, and Jeep Grand Cherokee models built between 2014 and 2015, fitted with a “joystick style” automatic gear selector.

Although not unique to FCA, the affected gear selector returns to a central position after selecting either Drive, Reverse, or Park, making it difficult to see at a glance if a vehicle has been properly secured before leaving it.

Despite the implementation of warning lights and buzzers that indicate a vehicle is not in Park when the driver’s door is opened, vehicles that are part of the recall will get a software update to prevent the vehicle from moving if not left in Park.
