2012 Dodge Challenger Recalls & Complaints

The 2012 Dodge Challenger has 4 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side frontal airbag inflator that can explode during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin and potentially causing serious injury or death.

The airbag inflator issue spans multiple filings covering the same defect, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem for all affected vehicles. Separately from the airbag concerns, the alternator can fail suddenly, either stalling the vehicle without warning or short-circuiting and starting a fire. This recall affects vehicles equipped with electro-hydraulic power steering and either a 5.7L or 3.6L engine paired with certain alternator ratings.
