The shift to more screens in cars was supposed to be the wave of the future. We could customize them, enjoy cute little animations, and pack more info into them than anyone could dream of doing with an analog gauge cluster. Of course, an old-school mechanical cluster can’t disappear for no obvious reason during a drive. Over 20,000 Stellantis vehicles with a digital cluster might have just that happen, so the automaker is issuing a new recall.

According to documents put together by Stellantis and filed with the NHTSA, the issue potentially exists in 100 percent of the 20,271 affected vehicles built from March of 2024 through November 2025. 11,743 are Jeep Wagoneer S EVs, and the other 8,528 are Dodge Charger Daytonas.

Stellantis says it met internally about the issue on March 10, 2026 and worked with its FCA engineering team to understand what was happening through the end of that month and into April. On April 16, it decided to issue the recall but not simply because the gauge cluster was going dark. No, instead, it’s doing this because when the cluster goes dark it can no longer alert the driver to certain information.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require that a car can alert a driver to issues with systems like the ABS, TPMS, ESC, and more. When the panel in a Jeep Wagoneer S or Dodge Charger Daytona takes a nap, it can’t tell the driver if there are issues with these key systems. As a result, Stellantis must recall the cars and fix the issue.

Notably, the automaker stopped well short of describing exactly what causes the panel to blank out in the first place. It appears that it’s entirely software-related, as the ‘remedy’ is quoted as “software,” in the filing. Dealers will simply update the cluster software, and that should prevent them from taking a break while the driver is driving.

The all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona is big and heavy, and according to some owners, reportedly riddled with issues. In Canada, it can also be configured with tens of thousands of dollars in options, yet much of that added cost appears to evaporate the moment the car hits the market.

This white 2024 Charger Daytona has been listed for sale by Oakville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Ontario for CA$58,400 (US$42,700). On paper, that does not sound outrageous. Then you glance at the original window sticker and pause. With options included, this car started life at CA$106,493 (US$77,900). Let that sink for a moment.

Sticker Shock And Rapid Depreciation

Ready? Good, let’s carry on. In Canada, the most basic Charger Daytona opens at CA$53,995 (US$39,500). This one is the Scat Pack, which adds CA$26,905 (US$19,700) and pushes the total to CA$80,300 (US$59,200). In return, you get twin motors delivering 670 hp and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm), plus launch control, a head-up display, dedicated drive modes, and a 16-inch digital cluster to keep tabs on it all.

Next up, this Dodge was specified with the CA$9,495 (US$6,900) Plus Group. That buys you ventilated seats, power lumbar adjustment for both front occupants, ambient lighting, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. Comfort, in other words, does not come cheap.

There is also the CA$3,696 (US$2,700) Sun & Sound package, pairing a fixed glass roof with an 18-speaker Alpine audio system. On top of that sits the CA$6,195 (US$4,500) Track Pack, which brings high-performance brakes, a one-piece black spoiler, revised adaptive suspension tuning, and red brake calipers.

Rounding out the list of options is the CA$3,995 (US$2,900) Carbon & Suede package. As the name suggests, it adds carbon and suede accents, but you also get 20-inch black wheels wrapped in 305/25 front and 325/35 rear all-season tires.

It’s hard to see what Dodge was expecting here. Asking this sort of money for an electric Charger was always going to be a stretch. For similar cash, you could slide into a Lucid Air. Or, for CA$80,990 (US$59,200), you could drive away in a brand new Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and still have change left for the charging cable you will inevitably forget at home.

We hate to think about just how much more value this Charger could lose. It has already shed nearly CA$50,000 in under two years, despite covering just 275 km (171 miles). Even at CA$58,400 (US$42,700), you would not bet the house on it flying off the lot anytime soon.

Then again, something tells us that the dealer might be open to trimming that figure a little further just to move it along. You can check out the listing here.
