Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Dodge Charger vehicles under NHTSA campaign number 25V389000. The potential number of units affected is 8,390.

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 and Electric Vehicles." According to NHTSA, a vehicle that does not emit sound may fail to alert pedestrians of a moving vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
