ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 Dodge Charger Srt?
The 2020 Dodge Charger SRT has a notable recall history, with three separate actions issued for a single model year. These recalls directly affect crash safety: one addresses air bag inflator performance, another concerns windshield bonding and its role in rollover structural integrity, and a third involves backup camera suppression in stealth mode. The air bag recall is particularly pertinent given the 57 owner complaints on file, 36 of which specifically mention air bag malfunctions. Overall, these complaints include 10 crash incidents, 2 fire reports, and 1 fatality. Without crash-test ratings for the 2020 Charger SRT or any related model years, the car's crash performance remains undefined by NHTSA testing.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2020 Dodge Charger Srt have any recalls?

No do-not-drive or park-outside advisory is listed in the data provided, but owners should verify current remedy status by VIN at nhtsa.gov.

USED BUYERWhat should used buyers know about the 2020 Dodge Charger Srt?
Three recalls have been issued for the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT. Prospective owners should verify recall completion by VIN at nhtsa.gov, as resolving open recalls on a used vehicle becomes the buyer's responsibility post-purchase.
- The 2020 Dodge Charger SRT has three active or resolved recalls covering curtain air bag inflators, windshield bonding, and backup-camera suppression in stealth mode - all of which are direct safety-system concerns rather than convenience or emissions issues.
- Air bags are the single largest complaint category for this model year, with 36 of 57 reported complaints concentrated there, a pattern that aligns with the air bag inflator recall covering 2018 to 2021 Charger vehicles.
- The backup-camera recall is specific to Charger Pursuit variants equipped with stealth mode, so civilian SRT buyers should confirm whether their VIN falls within that campaign's scope when running the NHTSA lookup.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested this model year, and no sibling Charger SRT years in this guide's coverage window carry test scores, meaning shoppers cannot use a related-year result as a crash-safety reference for the 2020 vehicle.
