The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday it opened a recall query into about 299,000 vehicles from Chrysler parent Stellantis, after receiving complaints about faulty shifter cable bushings.
A bushing, usually made of rubber, connects the shifter cable to the transmission system, allowing the vehicle to change gears. If the bushing is damaged or missing, the vehicle could move in an unexpected direction.
