Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA recall information identifies three safety concerns for certain 2017 Dodge Challenger vehicles. A cruise control software defect may prevent the system from disengaging, allowing the vehicle to maintain speed or accelerate and increasing crash risk. On certain Hellcat-equipped vehicles, engine oil cooler hoses may fail, causing rapid oil loss, reduced windshield visibility, or contact with a hot surface that could lead to a crash or fire. Certain 5.7L V8 models with eight-speed automatic transmissions may not remain in PARK, creating a rollaway risk. Waiting can leave these hazards unresolved, so arrange a free VIN check promptly.
