Chrysler Recalls
Check open Chrysler recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Chrysler recall lookups work
When you enter a Chrysler VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Chrysler dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Chrysler recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Chrysler authorized dealer after purchase.
Notable past Chrysler recall campaigns
A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.
NHTSA campaign 18V493000
Power train: axle assembly (front halfshaft)
2018 Chrysler Pacifica
A front-axle halfshaft may have been assembled incorrectly and not properly secured to the CV joint; if it disengages, the minivan can lose drive or roll while in PARK, raising crash risk. Dealers inspect and correctly secure or replace the halfshaft at no charge.
NHTSA campaign 24V198000
Air bags: side/curtain inflator
2018-2021 Chrysler 300 (and related Dodge Charger)
The right- and left-side curtain airbag inflators can rupture due to a manufacturing defect, potentially sending sharp metal fragments at occupants in a deployment — a serious injury risk. Dealers replace the affected side-curtain inflators at no charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Chrysler also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
