Buying a used 2021 Dodge Charger? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls apply: a critical one for curtain airbags that may rupture, and a medium-severity one for windshields that may not be glued properly. Owner complaints to NHTSA total 34, and these are unverified reports; air bags lead with 15, followed by powertrain and engine items in low single digits. Two crashes were reported, with no fires or injuries. The recall list is shorter than the 2020 car's, but the airbag campaign is the same one.
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.
- Get written confirmation the curtain airbag recall repair was performed
- Check the windshield for leaks, wind noise or prior replacement
- Test drive for the transmission and engine behavior owners reported
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
