Safety score
91/100
Low recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 91% of vehicles we track.

The Dodge Journey scores 91 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 57% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 5% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.

Those 21 campaigns span 11 model years of the Dodge Journey. The single largest affected 4,815,661 vehicles, over electrical system. 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 Journey 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 Journey 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.

Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

Common questions about Dodge Journey recalls

Does the Dodge Journey have any recalls?

How many times has the Dodge Journey been recalled?
The Dodge Journey has 21 recall campaigns from the 2010 to 2020 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.

Which Dodge Journey model year has the most recalls?
The 2014 Dodge Journey has the most, with 7 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 Journey 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.
