16 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2026. 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 Chrysler Pacifica vehicles, the rearview camera image may fail to show up on the screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. Without that camera view, drivers have less visibility behind the vehicle while backing up. Because the camera image may not display, these vehicles do not meet a federal rear-visibility safety standard that requires a working rearview image when backing up.
In these vehicles, the left rear seat back may not lock into the upright position the way it should. If the seat back does not lock properly, it will not hold as intended if the vehicle is in a crash. Dealers will inspect the seat back's latch and striker and adjust them as needed so the seat locks correctly, at no charge to the owner.
The right and left side curtain airbags in these vehicles may rupture. This happens because of a defect in the way the airbag inflator was manufactured. If the inflator ruptures, it can send sharp pieces of metal flying inside the vehicle's cabin. Those metal fragments could strike the driver or any passengers riding inside, and this could result in injury or even death to the people in the vehicle.
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.
In some Dodge Charger and Durango vehicles, the shifter assembly was not heat-treated properly. Because of this, the shifter may not fully engage in the 'drive' position. A shifter that is not properly engaged can slip out of drive on its own, causing the vehicle to suddenly lose the power needed to keep moving. This loss of drive power can happen while the vehicle is being driven.
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.
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.
On certain Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles, when "stealth mode" is selected, the backup camera image does not display when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
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.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2019 Dodge Charger vehicles. The driver and passenger sun visors may be missing the required airbag warning information, which means the vehicles don't meet a federal safety standard for occupant protection.
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.
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.
Certain 2015-2018 Dodge Charger pursuit police vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive and a V8 engine have a front driveshaft with a universal joint that may seize or fracture. If that happens, the front driveshaft can detach from the vehicle while it is being driven.
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 16 safety recalls covering the 2018–2026 Dodge Charger. 10 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Chrysler Pacifica Rearview Camera May Not Display" (NHTSA campaign 26V531000), reported Aug 13, 2026.
The 2018 Dodge Charger has the most, with 6 recalls. The 2026 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 16 Dodge Charger recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
