Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger EV Recall for Instrument Panel Failure

What’s the Problem

Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) has issued a recall impacting more than 20,000 electric vehicles, including the 2024–2025 Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger Daytona EV, due to a serious defect in the instrument panel display.

The issue stems from a software error that can cause the instrument cluster to go blank while driving. When that happens, drivers may lose access to critical vehicle information such as speed, gear position, and warning indicators.

This is not a minor inconvenience. It directly affects the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.

Allegations

According to recall reports, the defect can cause the instrument panel to fail entirely, preventing drivers from seeing essential safety warnings and operational data.

This includes loss of visibility for:

• Brake system warnings

• Electronic stability control (ESC) alerts

• Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warnings

• Gear selection indicators

Federal regulators consider this a violation of multiple safety standards because these indicators are required to be visible to the driver at all times.

Without this information, drivers may be unaware of critical vehicle issues, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall / TSB

• Affected Vehicles:
  2024–2025 Jeep Wagoneer S
  2024–2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV

• Estimated Units:
  Approximately 20,000+ vehicles in the U.S. and Canada

• Defect:
  Software error causing instrument panel display failure

• Safety Risk:
  Loss of critical driver information increases crash risk

• Remedy:
  Expected to involve a software update (recall notices sent to owners)

This recall is part of a broader pattern of instrument cluster failures across Stellantis vehicles, including separate recalls affecting Ram trucks for similar display issues.

Symptoms

Owners may experience:

• Instrument panel screen going blank while driving

• Missing speedometer or gear indicator

• Warning lights not appearing when they should

• Intermittent display failures or flickering

• Sudden loss of all dashboard information

Even intermittent failures should be taken seriously. These systems are designed to provide real-time safety feedback.

How to Proceed

• Document Issues: Keep detailed records of all repairs and communications with the manufacturer. While at the dealership, ensure that all of your complaints are noted in the work order that you receive when you first drop off your vehicle.

• Reasonable Number of Repair Attempts: While the law doesn't specify an exact number, generally, if the same problem persists after four or more repair attempts, or if the vehicle is out of service for more than 30 days cumulatively, it may qualify as a "lemon."

• Monitor Symptoms: Any new warning light failures, display outages, or loss of vehicle information? Stop driving immediately and seek inspection and let the dealership know.

• Contact Valero Law: If repairs fail, or if you experience repeated issues, you may be entitled to relief under California law. Remedies can include a repurchase of the vehicle or a cash settlement.
