The 2007 Dodge Charger has 4 recalls, the most serious being defective airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin during a crash.
The brake system also carries a significant concern: the anti-lock brake control module software can cause the rear wheels to lock up unexpectedly during hard braking, which can cause the rear of the car to break loose and send the vehicle into a skid without warning. On the drivetrain side, a software error in the powertrain control module can momentarily lock the drive wheels if the driver shifts from Drive to Neutral and back to Drive at speeds above 40 mph, which can cause an abrupt loss of traction and vehicle control.
