2025 Dodge Charger

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Charger.

The 2025 Dodge Charger represents the latest iteration of a muscle car platform that has accumulated extensive owner feedback across nearly a quarter century of production, with data spanning from 2001 through 2024 showing a remarkable trajectory in resolved quality concerns; while this model year carries three recalls and 27 total owner complaints distributed across powertrain, electrical, and fuel/propulsion systems, the complaint history reveals a clear downward trend—dropping from 1,293 complaints in the 2006 model year to a low of just one complaint in 2024—suggesting that persistent engineering refinements over the Charger's production run have substantially addressed the issues that historically plagued earlier generations, positioning the 2025 model within a lineage that has demonstrably improved its dependability profile with each successive iteration.

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 2025 Dodge Charger enters a federal record defined by a dramatic generational arc: complaints peaked at 1,293 in 2006 and remained elevated through 2012 (648–692 annually) before declining steadily to just 1 complaint in 2024, while recalls dropped from a high of 14 in 2012 to zero in 2024. TSBs followed an inverse trajectory, climbing from 62 in 2006 to a peak of 338 in 2020 before settling at 222 in 2024, indicating sustained manufacturer service activity even as owner-reported issues faded. The 2025 model year shows only preliminary data — four top complaint areas each citing 1–3 reports (Power Train/Electrical/Fuel-Propulsion, Electrical System, Fuel/Propulsion System, and Electrical/Service Brakes) plus two crash complaints and zero fire complaints — figures too low to establish a pattern but consistent with the recent low-complaint trend. With no recalls or investigations recorded yet for 2025, the data doesn't specify root causes for the few early reports. Given the previous generation's mature, low-incident endpoint and the 2025's minimal early footprint, this appears to be a favorable entry point, though the limited complaint sample means long-term reliability remains unproven.
