Buying a used 2025 Dodge Hornet? Check these 3 recalls first
The recall picture narrows for 2025 to three items: a critical brake pedal that can collapse while driving, a backup camera image that may not appear, and rear seat belts that may not retract properly. The battery cable fire recall that hit 2023 and 2024 is not listed here. With only 2 unverified owner complaints on file and no crashes, fires or injuries, the complaint record is too thin to read as a pattern either way.
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 brake pedal recall was completed and test pedal feel on a drive
- Confirm the backup camera displays reliably every time reverse is selected
- Check that both rear seat belts retract fully
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
