The fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR BRAKE TUBES FOR DAMAGE AND REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE.

How to check if your Charger has an open recall

  1. Find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the door-jamb sticker, or your registration.
  2. Enter it in the free VIN recall check. It queries NHTSA for your exact vehicle, not just the model.
  3. If a recall is open, call any Dodge dealer's service department to book the free repair. Bring the recall number from the list above.
  4. Buying used? Ask the seller for the dealer's recall-completion printout before you pay.

Or browse by year, for example the 2027 Dodge Charger recall check.

Recalls are only part of the picture. Owner complaints show which years have the most problems: Dodge Charger years to avoid.

Frequently asked questions

How many recalls does the Dodge Charger have?

49 NHTSA safety recall campaigns cover the Dodge Charger across model years 2006–2027. A single campaign often spans several model years, so the per-year counts in the table add up to more than 49. The 2012 model year has the most, with 14.

What is the latest Dodge Charger recall?

26V531000, filed with NHTSA on Aug 13, 2026: backup camera / back-over prevention (sensing system, camera), covering 2026–2027 Charger models. The fix is free at Dodge dealers.

What is the biggest Dodge Charger recall?

By vehicles covered, 18V332000 (May 17, 2018), a electrical system campaign covering about 4,815,661 vehicles in total. That count is for the whole campaign, which can include other models besides the Charger.

How do I check if my Dodge Charger has an open recall?

Run your 17-character VIN through a VIN recall check. A model-level list can't tell you whether your car was built in the affected range or has already been repaired. Any Dodge dealer can also look up the VIN and do the repair.

Are Dodge recall repairs free?

Yes. Safety-recall repairs are done free at franchised Dodge dealers, whether or not the warranty has expired and wherever you bought the car. Manufacturers must offer a free remedy for vehicles up to 15 years old at the time the recall is filed, and many still repair older ones.
