I don't think you read the recall. The car shifts from park to neutral by itself, that's the malfunction causing injury, most likely his death, and the recall.
"FCA?s Monostable shift lever acts unlike a traditional gear shifter. When it?s shifted into park, the lever returns to the middle position, regardless of whether it was placed in park or not.
The design flaw prompted a recall that included 2014-15 Jeep Grand Cherokees as well as 2012-14 Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300s as affected models. At the time of the recall, 121 accidents and 41 injuries were attributed to the flaw."
