Dodge D Series(light) Recalls, Complaints & Problems by Year

Owner-reported complaints, safety recalls and NHTSA investigations for every model year we hold

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received. This total counts a complaint once for each model year it names.
17
Safety recallsDistinct NHTSA recall campaigns covering at least one Dodge D Series(light) model year. A campaign spanning several years is counted once here and once in each of those years below.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate. Years without a link do not yet have enough data to publish a page. The Vehicle Issue Index is our own informational metric, not an official safety rating and not a reliability prediction.
