Defect
On certain van and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the ignition/park shift interlock system may become inoperative.

This can also allow the ignition key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the "park" position.
Safety risk
Either of these conditions could allow the vehicle to roll away causing a crash without warning.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the gearshift blocker and bracket assembly free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during january 2008. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
