• Dodge is recalling thousands of Daytona EVs that don’t emit pedestrian warning sounds.
  • Incomplete software uploads can prevent exterior warnings, raising the risk of a collision.
  • Chrysler is also recalling 140 minivans that may have a faulty rearview camera system.

The Dodge Charger Daytona traded a roaring Hemi V8 for an electric powertrain that sparked backlash from fans. The results haven’t been pretty as some models are being discounted by more than $20,000.

Slow sales aren’t the only issue as Dodge is recalling 8,390 Charger Daytonas from the 2024 and 2025 model year. They’re too quiet for their own good as missing software can prevent the amplifier from emitting pedestrian warning sounds. This means it runs afoul of rules designed specifically for hybrid and electric vehicles, which can travel silently at low speeds.

Dodge estimates that 3% of the recalled units may have experienced an “incomplete software upload.” FCA US began investigating the issue in April of this year and the fix is relatively straight forward as dealers will update the amplifier software, if needed. Owner notifications are slated to be mailed out on July 10 and repairs will be free of charge.

Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager Recalled Over Camera Issue

In other news, Stellantis is recalling 140 Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager minivans from the 2023 model year. They have a “manufacturing error,” which can prevent a rearview camera image from being displayed.

Delving into the safety recall report reveals the issue is related to a “solder void between the circuit board and an image signal processing chip.” 2.9% of the recalled vehicles are believed to have the problem and dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera as needed. Like in the Charger Daytona recall, notification letters are slated to go out on July 10th.
