2020 Dodge Charger

The 2020 Dodge Charger sits late in the LD generation's lifecycle, and the federal record shows a clear arc: complaints and recalls spiked at the generation's 2011 launch (692 complaints, 11 recalls), then declined steadily through the mid-2010s as the platform matured and Chrysler addressed early issues via TSBs. By 2020, complaints had fallen to 57—roughly half of 2019's 118 and a fraction of the 2011 peak—while recalls dropped to 3 and investigations reached zero for the first time in the generation, suggesting the vehicle had reached a stable, well-sorted state. The year immediately following (2021) shows even fewer complaints (32) and recalls (2), confirming that 2020 sits on the favorable downward slope of the trend rather than at a problem spike. However, the 2020's complaint profile is notable for its concentration: 31 of 57 complaints (over half) relate to air bags, with 10 crash complaints and 2 fire complaints in the mix, though the data does not specify root causes for any of these categories. TSB volume remained high at 338, indicating Chrysler continued to issue technical guidance and refinements. **Takeaway:** The 2020 Charger is a solid year to buy used—it benefits from nearly a decade of platform maturation, posts the lowest complaint and recall counts to that point in the generation, and shows no open investigations, though buyers should verify that any air-bag-related recall work has been completed given that category's dominance in the complaint data.
