Certified Mopar technician Jordan Rose (@MoparTechJordan) recently walked viewers through the most recent safety recall affecting select 2024 and 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV models. Known as FCA Recall 44C (NHTSA Campaign Number 25V-389), this federally mandated recall addresses a software issue that could prevent the vehicle’s pedestrian warning system from operating correctly. In a step-by-step video, Rose uses his own 2024 Charger Daytona EV to demonstrate the diagnostic and repair process.
What Is Recall 44C? –
Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) issued Recall 44C after discovering that 8,390 Dodge Charger Daytona EVs may have left the factory without fully programmed amplifier software. As a result, these vehicles might not emit the required external pedestrian warning sounds during low-speed operation. This omission violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 141, which requires electric vehicles to produce an audible alert to help pedestrians detect otherwise quiet vehicles.
Why This Matters –
Vehicles affected by this issue are more difficult for pedestrians and other road users to hear, particularly in urban environments, parking lots, and crosswalks. Without this sound, there’s an increased risk of injury to pedestrians or collisions with other vehicles. The problem applies only to models built between April 30, 2024, and March 18, 2025.
Jordan’s Step-by-Step Diagnostic Procedure –
Jordan Rose, who works at Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep® Ram in Virginia Beach, Virginia, guides viewers through the entire repair process in his latest video:
-
Initial System Check
Using a factory scan tool, Jordan tests whether the vehicle’s external pedestrian alert system is functioning as designed. -
Software Verification & Update
If the system fails the initial inspection, Jordan proceeds to reflash the amplifier module with the correct software to restore compliance. -
Post-Repair Validation
After the update, the system is retested to confirm proper operation of the exterior warning sound.
How to Check If Your Vehicle Is Affected –

Safety First: Leave EV Repairs to Professionals –
Jordan closes the video with an important safety reminder: Do not attempt to repair or diagnose high-voltage EV components without proper training. While the amplifier update is straightforward with dealer tools, working on electric vehicles without the right expertise can be dangerous. Always consult your local Dodge dealership for professional service.
If you own a 2024 or 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV, it’s worth checking your VIN today. Fixing this recall is quick, free, and essential for your vehicle’s compliance and safety.
