Dodge is recalling 1,097 2019 Charger sedans for driver and passenger sun visors that lack required air bag warning information.

What's wrong?
The sun visors on the 2019 Dodge Charger do more than block glare. On U.S. vehicles, the driver and passenger visors also carry required air bag warning labels tied to FMVSS 208, the occupant crash protection standard.
On affected Chargers, the visor assemblies were built with the wrong warning labels. The driver visor can have no air bag warning label, and the passenger visor can have labels intended for non-US vehicles. That means the vehicle does not give occupants the required U.S. air bag warning information in the place they are expected to find it.
There is no warning sign before failure. The visor can still move and look normal, so the issue is the missing or incorrect label, not a part that changes how the vehicle drives.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific sedan.
What's the safety risk?
Missing air bag warning information leaves occupants without required safety instructions, which increases the risk of injury. Drive with normal caution and schedule the visor replacement with a dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule the free sun-visor replacement that restores the required air bag warning information.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dodge technician replaces the driver and passenger sun visors so the required air bag warning information is present on both visors. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. FCA US has a reimbursement process for owners who paid out of pocket for a repair that later became this field action. Send the original receipt or other proof of payment to FCA US for expense confirmation, following the owner letter instructions.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V246?
Recall 19V246 covers 1,097 2019 Dodge Charger vehicles with driver and passenger sun visors that lack the required air bag warning information. The missing warning label fails FMVSS 208 and increases injury risk. Dodge dealers will replace both sun visors for free.
What should I do if my 2019 Dodge Charger is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Charger is included in recall 19V246. If it is, contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule replacement of the driver and passenger sun visors. Reference recall 19V246 or Dodge recall number V35 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Dodge dealers will replace the driver and passenger sun visors free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for vehicles included in recall 19V246.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is missing air bag warning information on the sun visors. That warning is required because it tells occupants about air bag hazards and proper seating precautions. Without it, the recall filing says the risk of injury increases.
What if I bought this Dodge Charger used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2019 Dodge Charger is included, then call a franchised Dodge dealer and reference recall 19V246 or Dodge recall number V35.
