As part of that commitment, we are also targeting existing vehicles on the road today and contacting our customers to provide these quality improvements, at no charge, that will help to improve your ownership satisfaction.
We are recommending the following improvements be performed on some 2005 through 2007 model year Dodge Charger, Magnum and Chrysler 300 equipped with a floor shifter.
Recommended Service:
The transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook on your vehicle (VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may break. A broken interlock return spring hook will result in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the “PARK†position.
What your dealer will do:

I called my local Dealer and I was told quote " We don't have any recall on your car" even after reading them the entire notice, they said they would get back to me - very funny.
I called the Chrysler Assistance center listed above - they transferred me to Dodge Assistance. Then after 15 minutes on hold was told the recall was for Chargers made June 25th to Sept 21st 2007. Guess what mine was made June 12th.
I was then told - sit down you wont believe this - " If enough people complain they MIGHT open up the recall dates.
I think it is very funny that they KNOW there were problems FROM 2005 through 2007 and yet they limit it to a few. ITS the same car, the same interlock and they most likely bought 1000's in bulk and they sat on a shelf.
Its a true shame that some people will never know this was a manufacturers mistake because the manufacturer isn't honest enough to help the people that paid $20000 to $40000 for their Dodge product.
My wife babies her Daytona - only has 27500 miles - and wont get any more until I can find someone to pull the car without damaging it.
