Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

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 2023 Dodge Charger sits near the bottom of a downward trend in federal complaints, with 25 complaints versus 57 in 2020 and only 11 in 2022, and its recall count of 2 is among the lowest in the decade. Compared to the 2021 peak of 32 complaints and 2 recalls, 2023 shows a modest improvement, while the 2024 data—only one complaint and no recalls—suggests the trend is continuing downward. The top complaint areas in 2023 are “Unknown or Other,” vehicle speed control, and power‑train/electrical system issues, but the record does not specify root causes. Crash complaints are minimal (three) and there are no fire complaints, indicating a relatively clean safety profile. Overall, 2023 represents a solid year for a used Charger, with low recall activity and a decline in reported issues, making it a prudent choice for buyers.
