13 recalls across 3 model years
The Dodge Hornet has 13 recalls covering 2023 through 2025 model years, with the most serious being a brake pedal defect on 2024–2025 vehicles where the pedal can collapse and cause a complete loss of braking ability.
The brake pedal issue affects all 2024–2025 models, including PHEV variants. On the electrical side, 2023–2024 PHEV models have a 12-volt battery positive cable and high-voltage connector cable that can be insufficiently tightened, allowing the connections to overheat and start a fire while parked or driving. The 2023 PHEV models have a separate but related concern: connections on the integrated dual charging module and high-voltage ground points may also be loose, creating a fire risk even when the vehicle is parked and off.
Rearview camera failures appear across the full 2023–2025 production span. On these models, the display module can fail to show the camera image when reversing, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle. This issue traces back to both a manufacturing defect and a software problem in the camera system on 2023 models.
On 2023–2024 PHEV models, the pedestrian alert siren may be missing or disconnected, meaning the vehicle produces no audible warning when backing up, removing a key alert for people on foot nearby.
Several label-related recalls affect 2023 and 2024 models. The tire placard on 2023–2024 vehicles lists an incorrect maximum vehicle capacity weight, which can lead to overloading and poor handling or a tire failure. The 2024 model year has a separate label issue where rim and tire size information is missing entirely, which can result in incorrect wheels being installed. On 2023 models, additional label problems include missing gross vehicle weight rating and tire and rim size information, as well as compliance labels that omit French-language content and list incorrect axle weight units.
