SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Dodge Hornet and 2023-2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale vehicles. The rear outboard seat belts may become twisted and fail to retract properly.
- What it can cause
- A seat belt that does not retract may fail to restrain properly an occupant as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the retractors, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning September 24, 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 84D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on August 15, 2026.
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 48,777 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Dodge vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 22 times before this, most recently in December 2019 as 19V885000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 47 complaints with NHTSA, 42 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2023, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V246000 (back over prevention), 24V752000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V209000 (equipment), 24V175000 (equipment).
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 August 6, 2026 as campaign 26V510000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
