Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Federal data show the 2019 Dodge Charger sits near the low end of owner complaints for the model’s recorded history, with 118 complaints, 5 recalls, 1 investigation, and 334 TSBs. Compared with the prior two years, complaints are slightly down from 122 in 2018 and 125 in 2017, while recalls sit between the 2018 count of 6 and the 2017 count of 4; TSBs, however, are at a high for the period and will rise only marginally to 338 in 2020. Across the broader arc, complaints and recalls peaked in the 2006 and 2011–2012 windows and have trended downward since, placing 2019 in the calmer tail end of the generation. The leading complaint area is air bags, accounting for 42 of the 118 complaints, followed by engine (8) and electrical/exterior lighting (7); the records also note 7 crash-related and 3 fire-related complaints, though they do not specify root causes. That concentration in air bags should be the primary focus of a pre-purchase check, including verifying any open recalls and repair documentation. Overall, 2019 is one of the more favorable Charger model years in the federal record, provided the air-bag and recall history is clean.
