Is there a recall on 2013 Dodge Dart transmission?
There are VIN-specific recall campaigns that have affected some 2013 Dodge Dart transmissions; not every car is impacted. The best way to know for sure is to check your vehicle’s VIN with official recall databases or your dealer.
The 2013 Dart lineup has seen transmission-related recalls issued by the automaker and safety regulators, but the exact issues and eligibility vary by production date, trim, and equipment. Because recalls are tied to specific VINs, two identical models can have different recall statuses. Checking now and monitoring for updates is the prudent approach for owners and prospective buyers alike.
Current recall landscape for 2013 Dodge Dart transmissions
This section outlines how recall notices have generally applied to the 2013 Dart’s transmission across VINs. The key point is that only VIN-linked records tell you which vehicles are affected and what action is required.
For readers trying to determine eligibility, the most straightforward approach is to check VIN-based recall status.
VIN-based recall check overview
A VIN-based check pulls up all open or completed recalls tied to your specific car. If a transmission-related recall applies to your vehicle, it will appear here along with recommended action (free repair, parts replacement, etc.).
- Find your VIN (the 17-character identifier) on the driver's side dash near the windshield, the driver’s door jamb, or on your registration or insurance card.
- Visit the official recall lookup pages: NHTSA at https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and/or FCA US's recall portal if available for your brand and region, and enter your VIN.
- Review the results. If a transmission-related recall is listed, contact an authorized Dodge/Chrysler dealer to schedule the free repair.
Note that recall statuses are updated as new information becomes available. If no recalls show for your VIN, you should still monitor official channels, as campaigns can be added later.
What to do if your vehicle is recalled
If your 2013 Dodge Dart is listed in a recall, take these steps to secure a free repair and ensure safe operation.
- Do not ignore a recall notice; a recall means the issue is being addressed by the manufacturer at no cost to you.
- Call your nearest authorized Dodge/Chrysler dealer to arrange a complimentary inspection and repair. Bring your VIN and any recall notices you have received.
- Ask about parts availability, expected repair time, and whether a loaner vehicle is available if the repair requires more than a quick visit.
- After service, obtain written confirmation that the recall was completed and keep the service record for your files.
Recalls can be updated or expanded, so even if your VIN currently shows no transmission recall, staying informed through official sources is wise.
