The 2007 Dodge Magnum has 3 recalls, the most serious being defective airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin.
The airbag concern covers both front positions: in a collision that triggers deployment, the inflator housing can split apart and throw metal shards toward the driver or other occupants, raising the risk of serious injury. This applies to both the driver-side and passenger-side frontal airbags. On the powertrain side, vehicles equipped with the 42RLE automatic transmission can experience a momentary lockup of the drive wheels if the driver shifts from drive to neutral and back to drive while traveling above roughly 40 mph, which can cause an unexpected surge or jerk as power suddenly re-engages.
