What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
2. Contact a Dodge dealer to have the rear seat back latch inspected, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number 38B).
3. The inspection and any adjustment are free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

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 24V573000.
