The 2022 Chrysler 300 earned a Safety Index score of 82/100, placing it in the Strong category. While the vehicle demonstrates a solid foundation in crash protection, this is somewhat offset by two recall campaigns and a modest score in avoidance technology. The overall safety profile, viewed for a used-market sedan, is respectable, yet it presents specific areas that warrant closer inspection by consumers.
The 2022 Chrysler 300 received a NHTSA Safety Index of 82 out of 100 and a 5-star NHTSA side-crash rating, according to NHTSA crash-test and recall data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Chrysler 300?
The 2022 Chrysler 300's Safety Index score of 82 out of 100 places it in our Strong band. This represents a two-point decline from the 2021 model year's 84, a notable shift as the vehicle approaches the end of its production. The robust crash-protection sub-score of 61 out of 70 anchors the index, reflecting strong performance in NHTSA's star ratings, particularly the 5-star result for side impact. However, the model significantly loses ground in avoidance technology, scoring only 4.5 out of 10. Lane departure warning is entirely absent, and forward collision warning is an optional feature, not standard equipment. This means many 2022 300 units in the used market will lack this critical active safety system. Standard electronic stability control provides a foundational safety element. The defect record sub-score of 16.5 out of 20 is tied to two TPMS recall campaigns specific to this model year, issued within months of each other. These suggest a systemic sensor or calibration issue that FCA addressed sequentially. For a sedan entering the used market, the 2022 Chrysler 300's safety character is defined by its strong structural protection combined with limited active-safety content.

NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2022 Chrysler 300 have any recalls?
The 2022 Chrysler 300 carries two recall campaigns, both targeting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. FCA US LLC issued the first notice in July of that model year and a second in October, covering the same component across the 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger. Neither campaign carries a park-outside or do-not-drive directive based on available NHTSA data, but remedy completion should be confirmed by VIN.
TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS22V808000
Risk: Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 10, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZB5. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-504.

Both of these campaigns require an owner to have the vehicle serviced; shoppers must confirm that any specific unit has had these recall remedies performed.
