Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2015 Challenger sits at a pivotal point in the generation's federal record: consumer complaints have declined to 126 from a 2010 peak of 298 and are lower than the prior year's 146, yet Technical Service Bulletins peak at 350 — the highest of the entire 2008-2023 span — indicating intensive manufacturer service activity as the first generation matured. Recalls hold at six, consistent with the 2011-2012 level but double the count seen in most post-2015 years, while investigations tick up to two, the only year besides 2008 with more than one. The top complaint categories — Power Train (18), Engine (11), Unknown Or Other (10), and Air Bags (8) — mirror earlier years, though the data does not specify root causes for any category. Crash and fire complaints stand at 16 and three respectively, figures the record does not contextualize against exposure or severity. The 2015 model reflects a year of heavy dealer-side technical attention amid improving owner-reported trends, making it a reasonable purchase if all six recalls and relevant TSBs have been addressed, but the elevated TSB volume suggests verifying service history thoroughly.
