13 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On some 2023 Dodge Challenger cars, the left rear seat back may not lock in its upright position. That means it may not stay firmly in place the way the seat is designed to. Because of this, these cars do not meet the federal safety rule covering seating systems. Dealers will check the latch piece that the seat back catches on and adjust it if needed. Chrysler mailed letters to owners in August 2024.
The parking brake on some Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger vehicles may not be adjusted correctly. If the parking brake isn't holding properly, the vehicle could roll away on its own. This roll-away risk increases the chance of a crash or injury.
The battery in the tire pressure monitoring sensors may fail early, causing the sensor to stop working. If a warning light is already on because of a failed sensor, it can hide a real low tire pressure problem.
On certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles, the battery inside a tire pressure sensor may fail earlier than it should, which can make the sensor stop working. When a sensor stops working this way, it will not warn the driver if a tire's air pressure gets low. If the tire pressure warning light is already on because of a failed sensor battery, it can also hide a real, separate tire pressure problem from the driver.
FCA is recalling certain 2021 Dodge Challenger vehicles because the safety system status indicators in the instrument cluster don't light up brightly enough to be seen in daylight or at night. This means drivers may not get information about the vehicle's safety systems when they need it. Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster with corrected software to fix the issue.
During manufacturing, the windshield may not have been properly bonded, or glued, to the vehicle. If the vehicle is involved in a crash, a windshield that isn't properly bonded could come loose and separate from the vehicle. A windshield that detaches during a crash may not provide the protection it's designed to give the occupants inside. This increases the risk of injury to those inside the vehicle.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles with 8.4-inch or 12-inch radio screens. A software error can leave the backup camera picture on the screen after the driver has shifted out of reverse. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule covering rear visibility. Dealers will update the radio display software. Owners can also choose to have the software updated remotely, over the air, instead of visiting a dealer.
Certain Dodge Challenger and Charger vehicles were built with a front wheel and brake package that isn't compatible with the vehicle. This mismatch can allow the front tire to rub against a steering part called the steering knuckle, and that contact can damage the tire.
On certain 2019 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles, the instrument cluster may not properly light up warnings that are meant to alert the driver. These are the same warning lights and messages that tell a driver about problems with the vehicle's systems. If the cluster fails to illuminate them correctly, the driver may not receive that information as intended.
A voltage regulator chip on the circuit board inside the powertrain control module may fail. If this chip fails, the vehicle may stall while it is being driven, or it may fail to start at all. To correct this problem, Chrysler dealers will replace the entire powertrain control module with a new one so the vehicle does not experience this stalling or no-start condition again.
Certain engine control modules sold as part of performance upgrade kits have a defect that could stop the cruise control from turning off. If a short circuit happens in the vehicle's wiring while cruise control is on, the driver may not be able to turn it off by pressing the brake pedal or using the switch, so the vehicle could keep going the same speed or speed up on its own.
Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Chrysler vehicles from several model years because the cruise control may not shut off. If a wire inside the vehicle shorts out while cruise control is in use, the driver may not be able to cancel it by pressing the brake pedal or by switching the system off. The vehicle could keep going at its set speed or even speed up. Dealers will inspect and reprogram the engine or powertrain computer.
On certain 2018 Dodge Charger, Durango and Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Ram 1500 vehicles, the wrong part may have been installed in the transmission that locks it into park. Because of this, the transmission may fail to shift into 'park' and hold the vehicle in place, meaning the vehicle could move on its own when the driver thinks it is safely parked.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 13 safety recalls covering the 2018–2023 Dodge Challenger. 7 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Dodge Challenger left rear seat back may not lock" (NHTSA campaign 24V573000), reported Aug 1, 2024.
The 2018 Dodge Challenger has the most, with 4 recalls. The 2020 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 13 Dodge Challenger recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
