Direct answer

NHTSA lists 2 safety recalls for the 2022 Dodge Challenger, alongside 9 owner complaints filed with the agency. That is too few complaints to show a pattern. Eligible recall remedies are generally free through the manufacturer's approved repair process, even after the warranty ends; some software remedies are delivered remotely. Federal no-charge coverage has an age limit for vehicles first sold more than 15 years before the recall notice; manufacturers may cover older vehicles voluntarily. Check the specific VIN — a previous owner may already have had the work done.

What to check before buying a used 2022 Challenger

Model-year data describes the production run, not the car in front of you: two cars of this model year can differ entirely, one with every recall repaired and the other with none. The counts below are from NHTSA data collected on 2026-09-15.

  1. Verify the 2 recall campaigns by VINCopy the 17-character VIN from the windshield or driver-door label, not from the listing, and run it through NHTSA's free recall lookup. It shows unrepaired recalls within its coverage and does not show completed repairs, so ask the seller for dated repair paperwork. The campaigns cover the tires. The newest, 22V808000, was filed in 2022.
  2. Only 9 owner complaints on fileThat is too few to show a pattern, so this page names no problem area for the 2022 Dodge Challenger. Complaints are unverified owner reports, not proven defects; test every system on the drive.
  3. Check the title and odometer in the history reportRecall and complaint data describe the 2022 production run, not this car's past. The VIN decode here is free; the $14.99 original ClearVIN PDF lists title brands, odometer readings, accident and auction records on file for that VIN. Records vary by vehicle, and a missing record does not prove nothing happened.
  4. Book an independent pre-purchase inspectionHave a mechanic you choose inspect this Challenger before you buy, and ask them to confirm the recall work on the tires.

Is the 2022 Challenger a good car to buy used?

NHTSA's records cannot rate one used 2022 Dodge Challenger; they can show how this model year compares with the other Challenger years in this site's 2015–2022 NHTSA collection. The 2022 has 9 owner complaints on file; of the eight Challenger model years in this site's 2015–2022 NHTSA collection (2015–2022), seven drew more. That count is too thin to read as a quiet year rather than a gap in NHTSA's records. The 2015 stands out instead, at 126. Its 2 recall campaigns compare with 1 to 6 across the Challenger years in the 2015–2022 collection; the 2015 has the most. These counts track how many were sold and how long they have been on the road, so they rank years within the Challenger, not build quality; whether one 2022 Challenger is a good buy depends on its own history and condition.

Which 2015–2022 Challenger years have the most complaints?

Among the eight Challenger model years in this site's 2015–2022 NHTSA collection, the 2015 has the most owner complaints, 126. The 2022 has 9. Older and better-selling years have had more time and more owners to file reports.

These are the vehicle systems named most often in complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the 2022 Dodge Challenger.

What this data cannot tell you

  • A complete recall or repair history for one vehicle. NHTSA’s VIN lookup covers unrepaired recalls within its scope; confirm missing campaigns and completed work with the manufacturer or an authorized dealer.
  • Whether a complaint is accurate. NHTSA publishes owner reports without verifying them.
  • How reliable the model is overall: complaint volume tracks how many vehicles were sold as much as how they hold up.
  • Anything about title brands, accident history, odometer records, or liens on an individual vehicle.

Quick answers

2022 Dodge Challenger questions

What should I check before buying a used 2022 Dodge Challenger?

Check the 2 NHTSA recall campaigns against the car's VIN with NHTSA's free lookup and ask for dated repair paperwork. Only 9 owner complaints are on file, too few to show a pattern. Recall data says nothing about this car's past: the $14.99 original ClearVIN PDF lists title brands, odometer readings, accident and auction records on file for the VIN. Finish with an independent pre-purchase inspection.

How many recalls does the 2022 Dodge Challenger have?

NHTSA lists 2 safety recalls covering the 2022 Dodge Challenger as of 2026-09-15. Whether a specific vehicle is affected — and whether the repair was already done — depends on its VIN.

What are the most common 2022 Dodge Challenger problems?

NHTSA holds 9 owner complaints for this model year, too few to identify a pattern. Use an independent pre-purchase inspection to assess the specific vehicle.

Are Dodge recall repairs free?

Generally, yes for eligible vehicles, even after the warranty ends. Federal law limits the required no-charge remedy when a vehicle was first sold more than 15 years before the recall notice; a manufacturer may still cover an older vehicle voluntarily. Check the VIN with the manufacturer for the approved remedy, which may be a dealer visit or a remote software update.

Can I check recalls on a specific 2022 Dodge Challenger VIN?

Yes. NHTSA's free VIN lookup reports unrepaired recalls within its coverage. It excludes completed repairs and can omit some recent recalls, older campaigns and vehicles outside its coverage. A zero result is not a complete recall or repair history. Ask the seller or manufacturer for dated repair documentation.
