Are there any recalls on a 2014 Dodge Avenger?
Yes. There have been recall campaigns affecting some 2014 Dodge Avenger vehicles. Whether your specific car is affected depends on its VIN, production date, and installed components. The safest approach is to check your VIN against official recall databases to see if any open recalls apply.
Recalls are issued to address safety and emissions issues, and a given vehicle is only affected if its VIN matches a campaign’s eligibility. This article explains how to verify recall status for a 2014 Avenger and what to expect if a recall applies.
Recall history and common topics for the 2014 Avenger
Over the model’s lifecycle, the 2014 Dodge Avenger has been included in several recall campaigns. The exact set of recalls that apply to a given vehicle is determined by the VIN. A prominent portion of recalls across this generation involved airbag inflators from the Takata recall program, which affected many cars from multiple brands. In addition, other campaigns have addressed electrical systems, fuel systems, and certain mechanical components in related Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models from the same era. To know precisely which campaigns apply to your car, perform a VIN-based check.
Takata airbag inflator recalls
The following items summarize how Takata and related airbag inflator recalls have affected vehicles in this generation, including the Avenger in some VIN ranges.
Note: The list below highlights typical implications of airbag inflator recalls. The exact campaigns and remedies depend on your VIN.
- Airbag inflator replacement or inspection to reduce the risk of inflator rupture.
- Replacement work is typically performed at no charge at an authorized dealer.
- Owners should receive recall notices with instructions and a scheduling window.
Many Dodge/Chrysler vehicles tied to these campaigns required service years after purchase, and VIN-specific results determine whether a 2014 Avenger is included.
Other recall categories
Beyond airbags, there have been campaigns addressing other critical systems in this generation. These campaigns are VIN-dependent, and not every vehicle is affected. The following categories are representative of recall activity seen in this era for related models.
- Electrical system and wiring-related issues affecting safety systems or dashboards.
- Fuel system concerns such as leaks or related components in certain VIN ranges.
- Mechanical and drivetrain components that could impact drivability or safety in some campaigns.
Because recall eligibility is VIN-specific, owners should verify which campaigns, if any, apply to their car by checking the VIN against official sources.
