FCA US is recalling over 20,000 vehicles because of a critical safety issue with the instrument display panel. This recall affects models such as the 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer S and the Dodge Charger EV.
The problem stems from a faulty instrument display panel that fails to show gear selection, warning lights, and other essential safety information. This issue may be linked to a software error, raising concerns about compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
This recall specifically impacts approximately 11,743 Jeep Wagoneer S vehicles and around 8,528 Dodge Charger EVs. The automaker first became aware of this situation on April 1 when it identified a build issue affecting these models.
That context matters because vehicle safety is paramount. When critical information doesn’t display correctly, drivers may face dangerous situations on the road. The absence of warning lights can lead to unanticipated failures or misjudgments while driving.
Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification letters by May 21. In addition, they can contact customer service at 1-800-853-1403 for more details. The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recall number for this situation is 39D.
Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) related to this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov starting April 30. Customers should check their VINs to determine if their vehicles are involved in this recall.
Next steps for customers include contacting their nearest dealer to update the instrument panel software. However, no specific timeline has been provided regarding how long these updates might take or whether additional issues could arise during repairs.
