What's wrong?
The left rear seat back latch striker on the 2023 Dodge Charger is the fixed metal catch that the seat back latch grabs when the seat is raised. Its job is simple: hold the rear seat back locked in the upright position so the seat structure stays where it belongs during normal driving.
On affected Chargers, the striker was misaligned during vehicle assembly. When the striker sits out of position, the latch does not engage correctly, so the left rear seat back does not lock upright. This recall is tied to an assembly alignment problem, not a broken latch part.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can notice the problem by checking whether the left rear seat back clicks firmly into place and stays locked after being moved upright.

What's the safety risk?
A seat back that is not locked into position can increase the risk of injury in a crash. If the seat back feels loose or does not stay upright, stop using that seating position and schedule the inspection soon. There is no warning sign listed before the latch problem. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.
