8,390 Dodge Charger EVs Recalled In US For Violation Of Sound Requirement Rule
Chrysler has announced a voluntary safety recall affecting 8,390 Dodge Charger electric vehicles produced between April 30, 2024, and March 18, 2025. The recall stems from an amplifier software issue that prevents the vehicles from emitting the necessary exterior sound required by federal regulations, potentially making them difficult for pedestrians and other drivers to detect. This could increase the risk of accidents. Chrysler will inspect the amplifiers and update the software as necessary to resolve the issue.
8,390 Dodge Charger EVs Recalled In US For Violation Of Sound Requirement Rule
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) has issued a voluntary safety recall for 8,390 Dodge Charger electric vehicles that were manufactured between April 30, 2024 and March 18, 2025. The affected vehicles may have an amplifier with incomplete software, which can result in the vehicle not emitting the required exterior sound.
The vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 141, which requires electric vehicles to emit a sound at low speeds. The missing sound may prevent others from detecting the vehicle. The issue is caused by incomplete software uploads during production.
According to the safety report submitted by Chrysler to NHTSA said, Vehicles that do not emit exterior sound will be more difficult for pedestrians and other drivers to detect, which could cause a crash without prior warning or increase the risk of injury to pedestrians.
Vehicles without exterior sound may not be detected by pedestrians and other drivers. This could result in an incident without any warning. No advance indication is expected before the condition occurs.
FCA US began an investigation on April 17, 2025. Engineering teams and the supplier, Alps Alpine Group, reviewed technical records, warranty data, and customer reports. A vehicle build error was identified. The recall decision was made on June 6, 2025.
DO deal with the issue, Chrysler will inspect the amplifier and update the software if needed. The updated software allows the vehicle to emit the required sound. No mechanical changes are included unless the amplifier does not pass inspection.
