Stellantis Is Recalling Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger and Challenger Cars
When vehicle models have been around a while, the trend is to see fewer recalls for them, mainly because most of the issues that might affect them have generally been ironed out.
There are exceptions, however. Case in point, the recall just announced by Stellantis addressing a tire pressure issue and impacting the newest editions of three of the auto giant’s older models: the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger. The campaign results from a defect in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor. The TPMS can incorrectly indicate a low pressure condition. A total of 52,340 models were delivered with sensors the batteries of which could fail prematurely, triggering a TPMS warning light when there is no real safety risk.

According to Stellantis, the production period for the potentially affected models runs from September 7, 2021 to June 9, 2022, indicating that it took some time for the problems to manifest themselves.
Notices have begun to circulate to dealerships and should be sent to owners by early September. In the meantime, people are advised to watch for the warning light, but also to check the tire pressure on their vehicle.
