Chrysler has 273 recall campaigns across 21 models. A defect is admitted 4.04 years after the car was built on average, and 36.2% of campaigns come five years or later.
What gets recalled on a Chrysler

| Electrical System | 10.6% | |
| Fuel System, Gasoline | 9.5% | |

| Latches/Locks/Linkages | 4.8% |
How long a defect stays unadmitted
Campaign numbers encode the year they were announced, so we can measure how quickly Chrysler acts once a defect exists.
| Measure | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Average gap | 4.04 years | Between the car being built and the defect being admitted |
| Admitted 5+ years later | 36.2% | Share of campaigns on cars already well used |
| Campaigns on record | 273 | Across 21 models, 1981–2026 |
Across all brands the average is 3.79 years. Faster is better, but a low figure can also mean a young line-up — read it next to the number of campaigns.
Chrysler recalls by model
21 Chrysler models have campaigns on record. The gap between them is wider than the brand average suggests: on the 200 a defect is admitted in 1.6 years, on the E-CLASS it takes 15 — the same company, the same paperwork, 13.4 years of difference.

Check your own car
Chrysler has 273 campaigns on record across 21 models, but none of them covers a whole model — only a production range inside it, sometimes a few weeks of assembly. So the 273 figure says nothing about any particular Chrysler: checking the VIN narrows those 273 down to the handful that touch one car, and shows whether the free fix was already carried out on it.
| Step | What you get |
|---|---|
| Enter the VIN above | Open campaigns for that exact vehicle, straight from NHTSA |
| Check the repair status | Whether the free fix has already been carried out on this car |
| Book at any franchised dealer | Recall work is free regardless of age, mileage or owner |

Frequently asked questions
How many recalls does Chrysler have?
273 campaigns across 21 models. On its own the number reflects how many models a brand sells — the response time says more.
Is Chrysler slow to admit defects?
On average a Chrysler defect is admitted 4.04 years after the car was built, against about 3.79 years across all brands. 36.2% of campaigns come five years or later.
Does a recall mean the car is unsafe?
It means a specific fault was found in a specific production range and must be fixed free of charge. A brand with many campaigns is not automatically worse — sometimes it simply reports faster.
How do I check my own Chrysler?
By VIN. Campaigns cover production ranges, so the model alone does not tell you whether your car is affected.
