Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500, 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and Durango, 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 3500, 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500, 2007-2008 Chrysler Aspen, 2005-2010 Chrysler 300, 300C, 300S, and SRT8, 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, 2005-2008 Magnum, 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota, and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. WHEN I AM PUSHING ON THE GAS IT HESITATES ON GOING, SOMETIMES IT WILL HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN JERK HARD. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE! IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I GOT THE CAR AND IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT NOW. WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER ALWAYS SAID IT WAS NO PROBLEM, NOW THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO THE TORQUE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ALSO UPDATED CODES AND THAT DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND I SHOULD NOT BE DEALING WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
