SAFETY RECALL H29 – REPROGRAM WIRELESS IGNITION NODE
Dear: (Name)
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act.
Chrysler has decided that some
2008 and 2009 model year Dodge Challenger vehicles fail to conform to
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 114 – Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention.

The problem is...
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be removed from your vehicle

(VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
when the transmission gear selector has not been placed
in the ”Park” position. If the driver turns the engine off but does not place the
gear selector in the “Park” position, the vehicle could move inadvertently and
cause a crash without warning.

What your dealer
will do...
Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor).
To do this, your
dealer will reprogram the Wireless Ignition Node and resynchronize your RKE
transmitters. After this repair, the engine will only turn off when the transmission gear
selector has been placed in the “Park” position.

The new software will also correct an intermittent RKE condition and add a
time-out feature to prevent draining the battery if the vehicle remains in the
“Accessory” or “Run” mode for more than 30 minutes with the engine off.
The
work will take about ½ hour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary
depending on service schedules.

What you must
do to ensure your
safety...
Simply
contact your dealer right away to schedule a service appointment. Remember
to bring this letter and BOTH RKE transmitters with you to your dealer.

If you need help...
If you have questions or concerns which your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact
Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Please help us update our records, by filling out the attached prepaid postcard, if any of the conditions listed
on the card apply to you or your vehicle.
If you have already experienced this condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may send your original
receipts and/or other adequate proof of payment to the following address for reimbursement: Chrysler Recall
Customer Assistance, P.O. Box 21-8007, Auburn Hills, MI 48321-8007, Attention: Reimbursement.
If your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this noncompliance without charge and within a reasonable time,
you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at
1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
We're sorry for any inconvenience, but we are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your
attention to this important matter.
