What's wrong?
The instrument panel cluster in the 2024-2025 Charger EV and Wagoneer S is the screen and control software that shows required driver information. It carries the brake, electronic stability control, tire pressure, and occupant protection telltales, along with the gear selection indicator. Those lights and indicators tell you when a safety system needs attention or when the vehicle is not in the gear you expect.
On affected vehicles, a software error in the cluster can leave the instrument panel display inoperative. When that happens, the vehicle can fail to show required warnings, including BRAKE, ESC, and TPMS indicators. The problem is not a broken bulb or a loose trim part. The remedy is updated instrument panel cluster software.
There is no warning sign before failure. The display can stop showing the information the driver relies on, so the driver can operate the vehicle in a compromised condition without prior warning.
