Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
Depending on equipment the manual describes a compact spare or a non-matching full-size spare; neither has a pressure sensor, so the TPMS does not monitor it. The jack and spare are under the trunk floor.
Lug nut torque

Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2022 Dodge Charger / Charger SRT Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2022 Dodge Charger maintenance schedule

Recalls (3)

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.

Power train: manual transmission: column shift assemblyNovember 23, 2022 · Campaign 22V866000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Charger and Durango vehicles. The shifter assembly was not properly heat-treated, which can prevent the shifter from properly engaging in the "drive" position.

Risk: An improperly engaged shifter assembly may slip out of the "drive" position, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the shifter assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 17, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall ZB3.

Campaign 22V866000 on NHTSA.gov
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 Charger owner's manuals & publications

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

Salt, snow and hills: the data

Reading the 2022 Charger data for Great Lakes roads

None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2022 Dodge Charger lines that matter for a Bowling Green winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.

Tire choices for squall and thaw

Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P215/65R17 on 17-inch wheels to 305/35R20 on 20-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.

The oil grade on a January morning

Factory oil: SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 (3.6L) and SAE 0W-20 (5.7L), 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L) per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.

Starting in single digits

Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change, and the spec sheet rates it at 730 cold-cranking amps. A battery that bakes through a Nashville or Memphis summer ages faster, then gets found out by the first hard freeze. Have it load-tested in fall rather than waiting for a slow crank.

Which wheels do the pulling

Factory drive configurations for 2022: rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The same trim name can come with more than one drive system, so on a used Charger confirm it from the window sticker or a VIN decode rather than the badge. In west Michigan, where lake-effect bands can pile up several inches of snow in an hour, driving both axles is what gets a loaded vehicle up an icy driveway.

Pressure, potholes and the thermometer

Whatever size the Charger wears, from the factory P215/65R17 on up, correct inflation is the cheapest pothole defense there is: a soft tire lets the wheel slam into the far edge of the hole. Check pressures when the tires are cold, since a reading taken after a highway run will look high.

Antifreeze for both ends of the year

The system holds 10 qt (3.6L) and 14.5 to 15 qt (5.7L) of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.

Clearance for frozen ruts and hollow roads

Listed ground clearance: 4.5 to 5.2 inches. Two places in this region test it. One is a snowbelt side street after a squall, where frozen ruts form before the plow comes back. The other is a gravel road up an Appalachian hollow, where a high crown and washouts can catch a low underbody. Knowing the figure helps you choose a line instead of guessing.

Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2022 Charger. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.

2022 Dodge Charger questions

How much oil does the 2022 Dodge Charger take?
