Dodge Charger Recalls (2010-2025)
The Dodge Charger has been the subject of 42 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, air bags, and power train. At least one is serious enough that NHTSA tells owners to stop driving the vehicle until it is fixed.
The Dodge Charger scores 15 out of 100 (grade F), one of the heavier recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 76% involve a critical safety system, 4 carried a do-not-drive warning, and 14% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 42 campaigns span 16 model years of the Dodge Charger. The single largest affected 4,648,270 vehicles, over air bags. Some carry a do-not-drive warning, the most serious class of recall, which means NHTSA advises against driving the vehicle until the repair is done. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Charger problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Dodge Charger may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

Common questions about Dodge Charger recalls
- Does the Dodge Charger have any recalls?
- Yes. NHTSA has 42 recall campaigns on record for the Dodge Charger across the 2010 to 2025 model years. The most common areas are the electrical system, air bags, and power train.
- How many times has the Dodge Charger been recalled?
- The Dodge Charger has 42 recall campaigns from the 2010 to 2025 model years. A single campaign often covers several model years at once, so the number of recalls is not the same as the number of years affected.
- What is the most serious Dodge Charger recall?
- The most serious recall on record involves the air bags, affecting 4,648,270 vehicles. NHTSA flagged it as do-not-drive, meaning owners should stop driving the vehicle until the repair is done. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Which Dodge Charger model year has the most recalls?
- The 2012 Dodge Charger has the most, with 15 recall campaigns on record. Older model years often pick up more recalls over time, since defects can surface years after a car is built.
- How do I check if my Dodge Charger has an open recall?
- Enter your 17-digit VIN on the recall check page. It returns the recalls tied to your exact vehicle straight from NHTSA. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer, with no expiration on most safety recalls.
Recall data comes from NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. For how it is sourced and how the safety score is built, see the methodology and data sources. This page is a reference, not legal or safety advice.
