Chrysler is recalling certain 2008 Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger, Jeep Commander, and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured between March 2007 and May 2008. The ignition key may stick between the "START" and "ON" positions or inadvertently move to the "ACCESSORY" or "OFF" position while driving, which could turn off the engine and disable critical safety systems including airbags, power steering, and power braking. This could increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Chrysler will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs for free. The recall began on August 19, 2015. Affected owners should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number P57 to schedule the repair with a dealer.

If the ignition stays between "START" and "ON" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "OFF" or "ACCESSORY" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P57.
