2008 DODGE CHALLENGER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Dodge Challenger has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the driver's frontal airbag inflator, which can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants. Two separate filings address this airbag inflator issue: one where moisture intrusion over time can cause the inflator to rupture, and another where excessive internal pressure during deployment can do the same. Either failure can also damage the airbag module itself, preventing the bag from deploying properly in a crash. The remaining two recalls cover the same underlying defect on vehicles equipped with the Keyless Go option and an automatic transmission: if the engine is shut off by pressing and holding the stop/start button, the electronic key recognition is removed from the vehicle while the transmission may remain in a driveable position without the usual interlock preventing rollaway.
