Buying a used 2019 Dodge Challenger? Check these 3 recalls first
The headline recall is a wheel issue: incorrect wheels fitted to Challengers and Chargers can damage tires. Two lesser items cover dashboard warning lights that may fail and a backup-camera image that stays on screen. None carry stop-driving or park-outside warnings. NHTSA logged 58 owner complaints for this year, led by electrical system, unclassified reports, wheels and steering, with 5 crashes, 3 fires and 4 injuries reported. Complaints are unverified owner reports.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify the wheels match factory specification and that the wheel recall was performed
- Watch the instrument cluster at startup to confirm warning lights illuminate and clear
- Shift out of reverse and confirm the backup camera image clears from the screen
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
