Can I get my 2013 Dodge Charger recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?

Recall repairs must be performed by an authorized franchise dealer to ensure OEM parts and factory procedures are used; Kahlo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is a certified franchise dealer for these repairs.

Repair time varies by recall: software updates can take under an hour, while part replacements may require a few hours or a scheduled return if parts are not immediately available.

To reduce wait, please schedule appointment or call our service team; we’ll provide an estimated turnaround and advise about loaner/rental options and available service specials. We also offer service financing if you need it.

Does an open recall affect my 2013 Dodge Charger's trade-in or resale value?
