Buying a used 2021 Dodge Challenger? Check these 2 recalls first
A light recall year: a windshield that may not have been bonded properly, and dashboard warning lights that can be too dim to see. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Owners filed 19 NHTSA complaints, spread thinly across electrical system, air bags, power train and engine, with 4 crashes, 1 fire and 2 injuries reported. Those are unverified owner reports, and the volume is modest, so no single pattern dominates this year.
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.
- Check the windshield for leaks, wind noise, or signs of replacement or rebonding
- Confirm dashboard warning lights are readable in daylight, or that the recall was done
- Ask whether any airbag, engine or powertrain warning lights have appeared
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
