What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-140 or your dealer to schedule the software update.
3. The repair is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V664000.
