2016 DODGE CHARGER — Complaint #2163654

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:INTERIOR TRIM filed January 6, 2026

NHTSA complaint #2163654 (ODI reference 11709193) concerns a 2016 DODGE CHARGER and was filed on January 6, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 1, 2025. The vehicle had 120,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:interior trim, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE CHARGER cohort independently describe similar structure:interior trim failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 DODGE CHARGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
