2007 Dodge Charger

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Antilock:Control Unit/Module

Consequence of Defect

on certain vehicles, the antilock brake system (abs) control module software may cause the rear brakes to lock up during certain braking conditions.

Corrective Action

this could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.

Recall Notes

dealers will reprogram the abs electronic control unit. the recall began on february 19, 2007. owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

2007 Dodge Charger

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Consequence of Defect

on certain passenger and sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the software programmed into the powertrain control module can cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels if the vehicle is traveling over 40 mph and the operator shifts from drive to neutral and back to drive.

Corrective Action

if the drive wheels locked up, loss of vehicle control could occur increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall Notes

dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module free of charge. the recall began on october 2, 2006. owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

2006 Dodge Charger

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Consequence of Defect

certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.7 liter engines and mk25e braking systems may exhibit inadequate clearance between the rear brake tubes and the exhaust gas recirculation tube. contact between the brake tubes and exhaust gas recirculation tube over an extended period of time may cause the brake tubes to wear through and cause a brake fluid leak.

Corrective Action

this can result in a decrease of braking force and the potential for an engine compartment fire.

Recall Notes

dealers will inspect the rear brake tubes for damage and replace them free of charge. a clip will also be installed to secure the brake tubes to the right front shock tower to maintain proper clearance to the exhaust gas recirculation tube. the recall began on june 26, 2006. owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

2006 Dodge Charger

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Consequence of Defect

on certain pickup trucks, sport utility and passenger vehicles equipped with 42rle automatic transmissions, the cup plug that retains the park pawl anchor shaft may be improperly installed. if the shaft moves out of position, the vehicle may not be able to achieve 'park' position.

Corrective Action

if this occurs and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away and cause a crash without warning.

Recall Notes

dealers will inspect the transmissions and install a bracket to ensure the park pawl anchor shaft is retained in the proper position. the recall began on november 28, 2005. owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

1987 Dodge Charger

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Fuel Injection System

Consequence of Defect

pressure regulator installed in the fuel supply plumbing system leaks fuel into the engine compartment.

Corrective Action

fuel leaks can result in a fire when near a source ofignition.

Recall Notes

the fuel supply pressure regulator assembly will be replaced with a new assembly to ensure integrity of the fuel supply system.

1986 Dodge Charger

Component

Suspension:Rear

Consequence of Defect

rear suspension trailing arm-to-hanger bracket pivot bolts may fail from stress corrosion cracking possibly caused by processing deviations in the construction of the pivot bolt.

Corrective Action

failure of bolts may result in partial separation of therear suspension from the vehicle, resulting in loss of vehicle control withoutwarning and a vehicle crash.

Recall Notes

replace the rear suspension trailing arm-to-hanger bracket pivot bolt with a properly processed bolt.

1986 Dodge Charger

Component

Electrical System:Battery

Consequence of Defect

battery cap vents may be partially or completely blocked with plastic flashing. consequence of defect: a build up of internal gas pressure could occur which could result in case rupture, particularly during post charging. should a person be in the vicinity of the battery when the case ruptures, they may be injured by the released gases and/or acid.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

rework batteries by probing both vent orifices to eliminate any vent obstruction.

1985 Dodge Charger

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Delivery:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

the potential for fuel leakage exists in the engine compartment at the fuel reservoir seam and its hose connections. the fuel reservoir is a silver colored can mounted to the air cleaner.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the hoses and the metal tube that attaches to the fuel reservoir will be replaced with new components. the dealer will also replace or reseal the reservoir.

1985 Dodge Charger

Component

Engine And Engine Cooling:Exhaust System:Emission Control:Gas Recirculation Valve (Egr Valve)

Consequence of Defect

an emissions system valve may allow an overly rich mixture (excessive fuel) in the engine during deceleration. the mixture of air and excessive fuel can cause the engine to stall while stopping, coasting, or turning.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

all involved vehicles will be corrected by removing the emissions system valve and installing a vacuum line connector in its place.

1984 Dodge Charger

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Delivery:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

the potential for fuel leakage exists in the engine compartment at the fuel reservoir seam and its hose connections. the fuel reservoir is a silver colored can mounted to the air cleaner.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the hoses and the metal tube that attaches to the fuel reservoir will be replaced with new components. the dealer will also replace or reseal the reservoir.

1983 Dodge Charger

Component

Vehicle Speed Control:Accelerator Pedal

Consequence of Defect

throttle may not return to idle because of interference between the accelerator pedal and the floor carpet. the accelerator pedal rod extends below the base of the foot pad and contacts the floor carpeting when pedal is pushed all the way down.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the dealer will remove excess rod material extending below the foot pad and any sharp rod end edges will be smoothed.

1978 Dodge Charger

Component

Steering:Wheel And Handle Bar

Consequence of Defect

the columns may contain steering shafts in which the steering column coupling roll pin retaining notch was machined too deep. this may cause the steering wheel shaft to become disengaged from the rest of the steering assembly.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will install a cotter pin through the roll pin to ensure retention, at no cost to owner.

1977 Dodge Charger

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Carburetor System

Consequence of Defect

when the accelerator pedal on the involved vehicles is depressed and the accelerator pump is activated, a distorted accelerator pump seal in the carburetor may prevent the pump from delivering the proper amount of fuel.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will replace the carburetor accelerator pump seal with a seal of improved distortion resistance. the carburetor will also be checked for the proper float level.

1977 Dodge Charger

Component

Seats:Front Assembly:Recliner

Consequence of Defect

the involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "seating systems". the self-locking latch that retains the driver"s seat in its upright position under vehicle impact conditions may fail due to improper heat-treatment.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will replace the driver"s seat back latch and ensure proper operation of the self-locking device, without charge to owner.

1976 Dodge Charger

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Carburetor System

Consequence of Defect

when the accelerator pedal on the involved vehicles is depressed and the accelerator pump is activated, a distorted accelerator pump seal in the carburetor may prevent the pump from delivering the proper amount of fuel.
