15,000 Dodge Darts Recalled

Chrysler is recalling about 15,000 Dodge Darts because they could stall in cold weather. The Dart is produced in Belvidere. 

The affected cars are 2013 Darts with 1.4 liter four-cylinder engines and dual-clutch automatic transmissions. Chrysler says during internal testing, the company discovered that a Dart parked for eight hours in a room at 20 degrees stalled right after it was started. There were similar complaints made to dealerships.

Anyone with a car under the recall should contact a dealer, who will recalibrate the computer that controls the engine and transmission. The fix is free.
