Service Procedure
A. Reprogram the ECM with the Latest Available Software
NOTE: The wiTECH scan tool must be used to perform this recall. If the
reprogramming flash for the PCM is aborted or interrupted, repeat the
procedure.
CAUTION: the PCM software must be at the latest software calibration
level after completing this recall.
1. Open the hood and install a battery charger. Verify that the charging rate
provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the
flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous
charge.
NOTE: Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt
meter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified
range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage reading is too high, apply
an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC
blower motor to lower the voltage.
2. Connect the wiTECH micro pod II to the vehicle data link connector.
3. Place the ignition in the “RUN” position.
4. Open the wiTECH 2.0 website.
5. Enter your “User id” and “Password” and your “Dealer Code”, then select
“Sign In” at the bottom of the screen. Click “Accept”.
6. From the “Vehicle Selection” screen, select the vehicle to be updated.
7. From the “Action Items” screen, select the “Topology” tab.
Emissions Recall V86 -- Catalytic Converter Efficiency
Page 6
Service Procedure [Continued]
8. From the “Topology” tab, select the “PCM” module icon.
9. From the “Flash” tab, compare the “Current Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
Part Number” with the “New ECU Part Number” listed.
 If the “Current ECU part Number” is the same as the “New Part
Number”, proceed to Step 15.
 If the “Current ECU part Number” is NOT the same as the “New Part
Number”, continue with Step 10.
10. From the PCM tab, select the PCM flash part number. Read the flash special
instructions page. Select “OK” to continue.
NOTE: 2015 model year vehicles only will receive updated software for the
TCM while flashing the TCM as a combined flash. It will not be necessary
to flash the TCM separately, follow the screen instructions to complete the
flash.
11. From the flash ECU agreement page, agree to terms by checking the box.
12. Select “Flash ECU” and then follow the wiTECH screen instructions to
complete the flash.
13. Confirm the software is at the latest available calibration level.
14. Click “View DTCs”, select “Clear All DTCs”, click “Continue” and then
click “Close”.
15. Place the ignition in the “OFF” position and then remove the wiTECH micro
pod II device from the vehicle.
16. Remove the battery charger from the vehicle.
17. Proceed to Section B. Replace Catalytic Converters.

Service Procedure [Continued]
B. Replace Catalytic Converters
1. Make sure ignition switch is in “OFF” position and all accessories are turned
OFF.
2. Remove the rear compartment floor, trim panel to gain access to the battery.
3. Loosen the M6 captive nut (1)
securing the battery negative

Service Procedure [Continued]
8. Saturate all exhaust bolts and nuts with Mopar® Rust Penetrant. Allow five
minutes for penetration.
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Therefore, never attempt to service any part of the exhaust
system until it is cooled. Special care should be taken when working near
the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high
level after a short period of engine operation time.
CAUTION:
When
disconnecting the oxygen
sensor electrical connector,
do not pull directly on the
wire going into the sensor.
The sensor wiring can be
damaged resulting in sensor
failure.
9. Disconnect the oxygen sensor
wire harness connector (1) and
remove the harness from the
retainer (2) (Figure 5).
Figure 5 – Oxygen Sensors
10. Remove the oxygen sensor (3)
from the exhaust manifold
(Figure 5).
11. Disconnect the oxygen sensor
wire harness connector (2) and
remove the harness from the
retainer (Figure 6).

Service Procedure [Continued]
14. Separate the muffler and
resonator assembly from the
catalytic converters.
15. Remove the left (1) and/or
right (2) catalytic converters
(Figure 9).
16. Position the left (1) and/or
right (2) catalytic converter
onto the exhaust manifold
flange, and install the flange
nuts finger tight (Figure 9).
Figure 9 – Catalytic Converters
17. Insert the muffler and resonator assembly onto the front exhaust pipe, without
tightening the band clamps (1) at this time (Figure 8).
18. Tighten the catalytic converter (1) to exhaust manifold flange nuts (2) to
30 N·m (22 ft. lbs.) (Figure 7).
19. Tighten the band clamps to 50 N·m (37 ft. lbs.) (Figure 8).
NOTE: The threads of the new oxygen sensors are factory coated with
anti-seize compound to aid in removal. Do not add any additional anti-seize
compound to threads of a new oxygen sensor.
20. Install the oxygen sensor (3) into the exhaust manifold and tighten to 52 N·m
(38 ft. lbs.) (Figure 5).
21. Connect the oxygen sensor wire harness connector (1) and secure the wire
harness in the retainer (2) (Figure 5).
Emissions Recall V86 -- Catalytic Converter Efficiency
Page 12
Service Procedure [Continued]
22. Install the oxygen sensor (1) and tighten to 52 N·m (38 ft. lbs.) (Figure 6).
23. Connect the oxygen sensors wire harness connector (2) and secure the wire
harness in the retainer (Figure 6).
24. Lower the vehicle.
NOTE: Connecting the negative battery cable to the Intelligent Battery
Sensor (IBS) must be done before installing on the battery post.
NOTE: DO NOT use a hammer to tap down the sensor. Use a post
spreader to open the post if reusing the existing sensor.
NOTE: Avoid IBS rotation during tightening of M8 nut as to avoid contact
of 2-way connector breakage when rotating in to the battery.
25. Connect the battery negative cable eyelet (2) to the IBS M8 stud (Figure 4).
26. Install the M8 hex nut (1) to the IBS and tighten the nut to 15 N·m (11 ft. lbs.)
(Figure 3).
NOTE: M8 has much higher torque than the M6 clamp and can break IBS
free if the M6 is tightened prior.
27. Tighten the battery negative cable clamp M6 nut (1) to 7 N·m (62 in. lbs.)
(Figure 1).
28. Install the electrical connector (1) to the IBS. Make sure there is no stress on the
wires (Figure 2).
29. Install the rear compartment floor trim panel.
30. Proceed to: Section C. Install the Authorized Modifications Label.

FCA US LLC, has determined that certain [2015-2017 Model Year (LA) Dodge Challenger Hellcat
and 2015-2017 Model Year (LD) Dodge Charger Hellcat] vehicles equipped with a 6.2L supercharged
engine may release air pollutants which exceed Federal and California standards.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
Degradation of the catalytic converter may result in your vehicle [1] exceeding the emissions
standards for Non-Methane Organic Gas (NMOG) and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx).
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT EMISSIONS ISSUE?
FCA will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will update
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software and replace both catalytic converters and the
oxygen sensors. The estimated repair time is two hours. In addition, your dealer will require
your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which require
more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service
appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your
dealership.

OUR DEALERSHIPS ARE OPEN AND TAKING THE NECESSARY STEPS TO
ENSURE A SAFE AND CONVENIENT EXPERIENCE.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The State of California will require the completion of this emission recall repair prior to vehicle
registration renewal after normal business conditions are reestablished. Owners can check the
status of when this will occur by checking CARB’s website https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/emissionsrecall-registration. Your dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emission Recall Proof of
Correction Form after the Emission Recall service is performed. Be sure to save this form since
the California Department of Motor Vehicles may require that you supply it as proof that the
Emission Recall has been performed.
In order to ensure your full protection under the emissions warranty provisions, it is
recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could
be determined as lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle.
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you
