DATANot crash-tested

Consequently, no federal star ratings or an independently computed Safety Index are available to assess its crashworthiness. The vehicle's recall and complaint record, however, is notably light, showing zero recalls on file and 31 unverified owner complaints. While this suggests a low burden of reported issues from owners, the lack of comprehensive crash-test data prevents any definitive conclusion regarding the vehicle's crash safety performance.
The 2021 Dodge Charger Pursuit was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries zero recalls on file, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band according to NHTSA data.
