Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2026 Dodge Charger sits at the apex of a decade‑long decline in federal complaints, dropping from 125 complaints in 2017 to just 11 in 2022 and 1 in 2024, with recalls falling from 11 in 2011 to none in 2024. Compared to the peak in 2006 (1,293 complaints) and the steep drop that followed, the 2026 model falls well within the low‑complaint arc, indicating a mature and more reliable generation. The only complaint areas for 2026 are steering, electrical/structural/engine, and power‑train/electrical/engine, each with a single report, and there is a single crash complaint and no fire complaints. This trend suggests that the 2026 Charger benefits from the cumulative fixes applied over the past decade, and the negligible complaint volume implies a robust vehicle. Therefore, 2026 is a strong candidate year to purchase a used Charger.
