Chrysler Group is recalling 14,800 2013 Dodge Darts due to a potential stalling issue. The recall was prompted by internal testing that found a Dart that had been parked in a 20 degree F chamber for eight hours stalled moments after it was started up. Dealers reported similar incidents to the company. As a result, Chrysler plans to recalibrate affected cars' powertrain control modules at no cost to customers, according to a Chrysler press release. The recall includes 2013 Dodge Dart models equipped with a 1.4-liter engine and a dual-clutch transmission. Customers with questions can call 1-800-853-1403.
