What recalls does Dodge have?
Dodge currently has active recall campaigns, but the exact list depends on your model, year, and VIN. To determine whether your Dodge is affected, check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall database or Dodge's official recall information page.
This article explains how recalls work, how to verify recalls on your Dodge, and where to find the latest information. The data is kept up to date with government and manufacturer notices; however, recall statuses can change as new campaigns begin or old ones are completed.
How recalls work and why they matter
Recalls are safety fixes mandated by regulators when a vehicle defect could affect safety. They are addressed at no cost to the owner and typically involve parts replacement, repairs, or software updates. For Dodge owners, staying informed about recalls helps ensure ongoing safety and compliance on the road.
What triggers a recall
Recalls can be initiated after reports from manufacturers, regulators, dealers, or independent testers identify systemic issues that could affect critical components such as braking, steering, airbags, fuel systems, or electrical systems.
Where to find up-to-date Dodge recalls
The most reliable sources for current recall campaigns are official government data and the manufacturer’s notices.
The following resources provide the most up-to-date recall information for Dodge vehicles.
- NHTSA Recall Look-up — federal database of all open recalls, searchable by VIN, make, model, and year.
- Dodge Official Recalls — manufacturer notices and recall campaign details for Dodge-brand vehicles.
Using these sources helps you verify whether a recall exists for your specific vehicle and what steps to take to obtain a remedy, such as a free service at an authorized dealer.
How to check your Dodge for recalls by VIN
To determine if your Dodge is affected by an open recall, locate your VIN and use the official lookup tools. This approach provides model-specific information and the status of any recall campaigns.
- Locate your vehicle’s VIN. It is typically found on the driver’s side dashboard near the windshield, inside the driver’s door jamb, or on your vehicle’s registration documents.
- Visit the NHTSA Recall Look-up page and enter your VIN or search by make/model/year if you don’t have the VIN handy.
- Review the list of active recalls that apply to your vehicle. Each item will include a defect description and the recommended remedy.
- If a recall affects your Dodge, contact your local authorized Dodge dealer to schedule the free repair appointment.
In many cases, recalls are handled at no cost to you, and dealers will contact eligible owners when a remedy is available. If you are unsure, you can also call a Dodge customer service line for confirmation.
What to do if you think your Dodge might be under recall
Never ignore the possibility of a recall. If you see a recall notice, or your vehicle exhibits symptoms related to a possible defect addressed by a recall, arrange inspection promptly. Do not delay if the issue could affect safety, such as braking, steering, airbag deployment, or engine fire risk.
Safety tips while waiting for service
Until a remedy is performed, avoid situations that could exacerbate the suspected defect. For example, if there is an airbag issue, minimize driving with passengers in the front seat or seek diagnostic guidance from a dealer as soon as possible.
Summary
Recalls are an ongoing process that helps ensure vehicle safety. For Dodge owners, the best way to stay informed is to regularly check the NHTSA recall database and Dodge’s own recall pages. By using VIN-based lookups and acting quickly when a recall affects your vehicle, you can protect yourself and others on the road.
