2011–2012 Dodge Charger recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 dodge Charger police vehicles. The low beam headlamps of some vehicles could fail due to an overheated bulb harness connector. Other vehicles may lose ABS/ESC system function due to an overheated power distribution center.
💥 The risk
This could lead to loss of visibility and/or braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will replace the headlamp jumper harnesses and relocate the ABS/ESC system fuse within the power distribution center, free of charge. The safety recall began on april 2, 2012. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
