2022 Dodge Challenger recalls & safety

What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2022 Dodge Challenger: 2 recall campaigns, 9 owner complaints and crash-test ratings. Fetched November 8, 2026.

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings

Recalls (2)

Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.

Tires: pressure monitoring and regulating systemsOctober 27, 2022 · Campaign 22V808000

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Risk: Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 10, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZB5. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-504.

2022 Dodge Challenger owner's manuals & publications

The manufacturer's owner's manual, quick guides, radio manuals, supplements and warranty booklets for the 2022 model year.

Read for lake-effect country

What counts on a 2022 Dodge Challenger from Michigan to Tennessee

Lake-effect squalls, roads soaked in brine, potholes that open with every thaw and long Appalachian grades: driving in the Great Lakes states asks a lot of tires, batteries and undersides. These notes take the 2022 Challenger figures above and flag the ones that carry the most weight in Tennessee.

Pothole season and the factory tire sizes

Smallest factory tire: 235/55R18. Freeze-thaw cycles break up asphalt across the Great Lakes states, and one jolt can knock the alignment out without leaving a mark on the wheel. If the steering wheel sits off-center or the Challenger wanders after a pothole, get the alignment checked before the tire edges wear. A winter set on 18-inch wheels also keeps salt off the originals.

What the manual says about oil

The 2022 Dodge Challenger fluids table lists SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 (3.6L) and SAE 0W-20 (5.7L), with 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L) per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.

Battery checks before the cold

The spec sheet lists 730 cold-cranking amps. A Challenger left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

The 2022 lineup includes rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.

Cold mornings and the tire-pressure light

Air pressure falls about 1 psi with each 10°F drop, so the swing from a gray, mild lake-effect afternoon to a clear, frigid morning can trip the warning light overnight. Set pressures cold, to the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire is also easier to damage in a pothole, because the rim sits closer to the edge it hits.

Boats, campers and Appalachian grades

Regular towing puts the 2022 Dodge Challenger on the schedule's trailer rows: transfer case fluid and axle fluid service, first at 50,000 miles. A summer of hauling a boat to Lake Cumberland, Norris Lake or a Lake Michigan launch counts. Maximum trailer weight in the towing chart is 1,000 lb, and only one configuration reaches it. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so a trailer's real corrosion threat here is winter road salt, not the ramp.

Coolant through freeze and climb

Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 11.1 qt (3.6L) and 14.7 qt (5.7L). Scheduled replacement comes at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Stick to that chemistry, since mixing coolant types can shorten their protective life. On a used Challenger from Tennessee, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.

Each spec in these notes is pulled from the tables above. The commentary on salt, snow, potholes and grades is general guidance for the Great Lakes states; the owner's manual remains the authority.

2022 Dodge Challenger questions

How much oil does the 2022 Dodge Challenger take?

With a filter change: 3.6L engine, 6 qt / 5.6 L and 5.7L engine, 7 qt / 6.6 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2022 Dodge Challenger use?

3.6L engine: SAE 5W-20 full synthetic; equivalent oil must carry the API Starburst mark; SAE 5W-30 meeting MS-6395 is an allowed substitute when 5W-20 is unavailable (MS-6395); 5.7L engine: SAE 0W-20 full synthetic; equivalent oil must carry the API Starburst mark (MS-6395); and Engine oil filter: Mopar filter, or any filter meeting SAE/USCAR-36 filter performance requirements (SAE/USCAR-36).

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2022 Dodge Challenger?

At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect the cv/universal joints; inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, boot seals and replace if necessary; inspect the rear axle fluid. inspect the front axle fluid (all wheel drive only); inspect the manual transmission fluid (if equipped); inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary; adjust parking brake on vehicles equipped with four wheel disc brakes, plus 1 more items. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2022 Dodge Challenger owner's manual?

The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.

What MPG does the 2022 Dodge Challenger get?

The EPA rates the 2022 Dodge Challenger at 15–23 MPG combined, depending on the version. 3.6L 6-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 19 city / 30 highway / 23 combined; 5.7L 8-cylinder, 6-speed manual, RWD: 15 city / 23 highway / 18 combined; 5.7L 8-cylinder, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 16 city / 25 highway / 19 combined; 6.2L 8-cylinder supercharged, 6-speed manual, RWD: 13 city / 21 highway / 16 combined; 6.2L 8-cylinder supercharged, 8-speed automatic, RWD: 13 city / 22 highway / 16 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.

What size tires does the 2022 Dodge Challenger use?

Factory tire sizes: 235/55R18 (SXT); 235/55R19 (SXT AWD); 245/45R20 (SXT (included with Plus Group and Blacktop Package)); 245/45ZR20 (GT and R/T, R/T Scat Pack, SXT AWD); P245/45ZR20 (GT, R/T and R/T Scat Pack); and 4 more. The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard on the vehicle, not in a single table.

What changed on the 2022 Dodge Challenger?

New option package: Carbon & Suede Package; Engines: 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology is new; Engines no longer listed: 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology.
