BACK OVER PREVENTION:WARNINGS:EXTERNAL/PEDESTRIAN ALERT
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Dodge Charger vehicles. The amplifier may be missing software, which can prevent the amplifier from emitting exterior sound, including pedestrian warnings. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid Electric Vehicles."
- What it can cause
- A vehicle that does not emit sound may fail to alert pedestrians of a moving vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and update the amplifier software, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 26, 2025. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 44C.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 8,390 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Dodge vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 6 times before this, most recently in April 2025 as 25V246000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 57 complaints with NHTSA. 1 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V262000 (electrical system), 25V574000 (power train).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on June 12, 2025 as campaign 25V389000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
