There is a safety recall on certain Dodge Journey, Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country vehicles from 2008-2010 due to a potential issue with the Wireless Ignition Node module.

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) Module may have unintentional movement of the Frequency Operated Button Ignition Key (FOBIK) from the “ON” to the “Accessory” position while driving, which could cause unintended engine shut off and increase the risk of a crash.

The dealer will replace the WIN module and two FOBIKs. The work will take about one hour but may take longer depending on service schedules.

Revised September 2015
