Buying a used 2024 Dodge Hornet? Check these 7 recalls first
This year carries two critical recalls: loose battery cables that can cause a fire, with a park-outside advisory, and a brake pedal that can collapse while driving. Medium and low items repeat from 2023 — backup warning sound, backup camera image, rear seat belt retraction, plus labeling errors. Owners filed 23 unverified complaints including one fire and no crashes, concentrated in electrical at 11, engine at 6, service brakes at 5 and steering at 4.
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 both the brake pedal and battery cable recalls were repaired
- Test the brake pedal for firmness and any sinking or unusual travel on a road test
- Check the backup camera, reverse warning sound, and rear seat belt retraction
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
