ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Dodge Hornet?
The 2024 Dodge Hornet faces a significant safety concern stemming from a brake pedal recall that advises owners to park outside or avoid driving the vehicle. This issue is particularly consequential as a collapsing pedal directly compromises a driver's ability to stop. The vehicle's overall safety record is further complicated by a substantial recall and complaint burden for a two-year-old model, with six recalls issued to date. Owner complaints underscore the brake concern; "Service Brakes" is the second most reported problem area with 18 allegations, trailing only the Electrical System's 25 complaints. Additionally, four complaints detail fire incidents, a category the Safety Desk consistently highlights for its inherent gravity, irrespective of verification status. No crash-safety data from adjacent model years is available for comparative analysis.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2024 Dodge Hornet have any recalls?
The 2024 Dodge Hornet is covered by six recall campaigns. Components addressed include the rearview camera display module, the brake pedal assembly, and manufacturer labels covering tire rim size and maximum vehicle capacity weight. The pedestrian alert siren on Plug-In Hybrid variants is also subject to recall. The brake pedal collapse campaign carries a park-outside or do-not-drive designation, meaning NHTSA considers the condition serious enough to warrant that elevated caution level.
