New software will prevent Jeep Grand Cherokees with the controversial electronically controlled “monostable” shifter from moving after the driver’s door is opened, even if the vehicle is not in park. The software patch is being shipped to dealers this week, and owners of the recalled 2014 and 2015 Grand Cherokees will be contacted to bring their vehicles in for the update.

In the latest software fix, as reported by Jalopnik, it appears the electronically controlled shifter will automatically engage park if the driver fails to do so before attempting to exit the vehicle. Only Grand Cherokees with the 3.6-liter V-6 and 5.7-liter V-8 engines—which account for about half of the affected vehicles—are included in this initial fix; the remaining Grand Cherokees (those equipped with the diesel engine and SRT8 models with the 6.4-liter V-8) as well as the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300, will get the fix later this summer.
