Dodge Charger Recalls

The Charger has been recalled 40 times. The 2012 model year has been involved in the most campaigns.

Recalls are free repairs, initiated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or Dodge itself, for a widespread safety problem. They might be a pain, but a recalled problem is better than an ignored one.

  1. Is that a light at the end of the Takata tunnel?

    Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) says they’ve entered the _ fourth and final stage_ of Takata recalls with a campaign to replace the passenger-side inflators in 1.6 million vehicles.

    The bulk of the vehicles are in the US and include the 2010 Dodge Ram 3500, 4500, 5500, the 2010-2011 Dakota, the 2010-2014 Challenger, and the 2011-2015 Charger.…

  2. Did you know it’s been almost five years since the first Takata recall?

    And just like the ongoing nightmare it’s become, we find ourselves staring down the barrel of yet another recall expansion.

    Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) is recalling 317,000 vehicles, including the Dodge Challenger, Charger, Dakota, and older Ram trucks. David Woods of CarComplaints.com has the full breakdown of which model years and in what zones.…

  5. Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) is recalling 1.1 million vehicles with electronic gear selectors.

    While the system is working as it was designed, it's the design that's the problem.

    "A driver should know the gear-selection based on multiple sets of indicator lights, unlike normal shifters that use a gear-selector position. However, hundreds of drivers have caused their vehicles to roll away because of not realizing the vehicles aren't in Park."

    An investigation was opened earlier this year. One or two rollaways might be an accident, but hundreds? That screams of a "back to the drawing board" situation for the FCA team.…

  6. More than 500,000 Dodge Chargers are part of an interesting recall.

    While the owner's manual clearly says 'wheel chocks' should be used when changing a tire using a tire jack, not everyone follows instructions. Now at least three of those people ended up getting injured when changing their Charger's tires.

    Darwin has an award for this sort of thing.

    Rather than place blame, however, Dodge has decided to provide owners with free chocks.

    They should be ready in April, 2016. Owners can call Dodge at 800-853-1403.

  7. Having a bad day? A little too energized from your morning coffee?

    Be careful how much force you use to close your car's doors.

    "Days ago, Fiat Chrysler (FCA) recalled 667,000 trucks with airbags that can deploy just by slamming the doors. Add another 284,000 model year 2011-2014 Dodge Chargers to the list as the automaker says the curse of the sensitive sensors strikes again."

    FCA says the problem is an overly sensitive front door pressure sensor. The sensor thinks you closing the door is actually a side-impact crash. I know you've been hitting the gym lately, but come on...…
