DATANot crash-tested
The 2024 Dodge Charger has not undergone crash testing by NHTSA, meaning there are no federal star ratings or a computed Safety Index available for this model year. The record currently indicates a "Light" recall and complaint burden band, with two open recall campaigns and nine reported owner complaints. While these figures suggest a relatively contained safety footprint for a vehicle in its second year of production, the absence of comprehensive crash-test data prevents any definitive assessment of its safety performance based on federal test results.
The 2024 Dodge Charger was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries two recall campaigns, and is assigned a Light recall and complaint burden band according to federal NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Dodge Charger?
The 2024 Dodge Charger has not been crash-tested by NHTSA. Consequently, the Safety Desk cannot assess its performance in federal crash simulations, nor can we assign it a computed Safety Index score. Buyers prioritizing this data must look to previous model years for context: the 2023 Charger scored an 88, the 2022 an 86, the 2021 an 88, and the 2020 an 82. These scores apply only to their respective model years. Two recall campaigns have been issued for the 2024 Charger. One addresses a fundamental powertrain safety function, the park pawl. The other pertains to a pedestrian alert system. Both are significant, and owners should verify remedy completion via the NHTSA VIN lookup tool. The vehicle's nine reported owner complaints, while unverified allegations, predominantly concern the electrical system. This pattern warrants attention as the vehicle ages. Overall, the 2024 Dodge Charger's recall and complaint volume falls within the lower end of what the Safety Desk identifies as a "Light burden band" for its segment and age bracket.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2024 Dodge Charger have any recalls?
The 2024 Dodge Charger has two recall campaigns on record. The first involves the powertrain, specifically an incorrectly installed spring in the automatic transmission park pawl, which affects certain 2024-2025 Dodge Charger and Jeep Wagoneer S electric vehicles. The second addresses the back-over prevention system, where a missing amplifier software update may prevent the pedestrian alert from functioning as required. Owners should verify via the NHTSA VIN tool whether either campaign remains open on their specific vehicle.
