Dodge Challenger left rear seat back may not lock

NHTSA campaign 24V573000 · Reported 2024-08-01 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

medium How serious is it? About this label

A seat back that is not locked into position can increase the risk of injury in a crash. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

In these Dodge Challengers, the left rear seat back may not lock upright as intended. The part it latches onto can be slightly out of position, so the seat back may not stay firmly in place. Nothing about the way the car drives will feel different, and you may not spot the problem yourself. A dealer will inspect the latch and adjust it so the rear seat back locks and holds the way it should.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your car is covered. 2. Contact your Dodge dealer, or FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall 38B), for an appointment. 3. Get the seat latch adjusted at no cost to you.
