After receiving two reports of rear suspension system failures that lead to crashes in the Dodge Viper, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation of some 2,500 units of the all American supercar – what could be the first step towards the government requiring the Chrysler Group to recall their high performance machine.

Yesterday afternoon, we caught up with what appeared to be a 2014 SRT Viper GTS test mule in GTS Blue sporting some unusual round exhaust protruding through the side sills and a set of non-matching rear wheels similar to those used on the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR - leading me to wonder if this test car might wear some of the features of the new American Club Racer Viper.

Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge Ram 1500 trucks equipped with faulty parking brakes, because they may pose a rollaway risk.

Chrysler has announced the recall of certain Chrysler and Dodge vehicles due to an airbag wiring harness problem that may lead to improper airbag deployment.

Today around 5pm EST, Chrysler and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne watched his custom 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 roll onto the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction block and when the final gavel sounded – Sergio’s SRT Challenger raised $175,000 for charity.

While sitting in on a round table discussion with the folks from Motor Trend, SRT boss Ralph Gilles offered a few bits of information on the next generation Dodge Challenger - including a 2014 New York International Auto Show debut for the redesigned Mopar muscle car.
