2023 DODGE HORNET Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Dodge Hornet has 8 recalls, the most serious affecting plug-in hybrid models where loose electrical connections in the charging system and battery cables can overheat and start a fire, even while the vehicle is parked. Three recalls involve incorrect or incomplete labels on certain vehicles. The tire and loading information label lists a wrong vehicle capacity weight, and separate compliance labels are missing the gross vehicle weight rating, tire size, and rim size information. A third label issue affects French-language requirements on Canadian vehicles. In all three cases, the practical risk is the same: a vehicle that gets overloaded due to missing or wrong weight limits can suffer tire failure or handling loss. On the visibility side, the rearview camera on some vehicles may fail to display an image when reversing, reducing the driver's view behind the car. There is also a pedestrian alert concern on plug-in hybrid trims, where the low-speed warning siren may be missing or disconnected, leaving pedestrians without an audible cue when the vehicle backs up.
