The 2013 Chrysler 200 has been the subject of several safety recall campaigns over the years, but there isn’t a single, universal recall that covers every car of that model year. The recalls that apply depend on the individual vehicle’s VIN (vehicle identification number). To know exactly which recalls affect your car, you should check the official records for your VIN.
Overview of recall campaigns that have affected the 2013 Chrysler 200
The following categories summarize notable recall campaigns that have involved the 2013 Chrysler 200 in various VIN ranges. These entries reflect official safety notices and news reports about historically reported issues. The exact recalls that apply to your car will depend on your specific VIN.
- Airbag inflators (Takata and related systems): Recalls addressing the potential for certain airbag inflators to deploy improperly or rupture. This is part of broader Takata airbag safety campaigns that affected many brands and models, including some 2013 Chrysler vehicles. Remedy typically involves replacing the affected airbag components.
- Fuel system components: Recalls related to fuel lines or fittings that could leak and pose a fire risk. The remedy generally involves inspecting and replacing or rerouting affected lines or components.
- Electrical/electronic stability and power steering: Recalls that could affect electric power steering or related electrical modules, potentially resulting in reduced steering assistance or other electrical symptoms. Remedies often include software updates or component replacements.
- Closure and latching concerns: Recalls involving hood latches or door latches that could fail to secure properly, raising the risk of opening while driving. Remedies typically include latch replacement or re-inspection.
- Transmission shift linkage and related transmission concerns: Recalls addressing shifting issues or misalignment that could affect gear engagement. Remedies usually involve inspection and replacement of the shift linkage or related transmission parts.
Recall campaigns are VIN-specific, and not every 2013 Chrysler 200 will have one or more of these recalls. If your vehicle is affected, the recall work is performed at no charge by the dealer.
How to check if your specific 2013 Chrysler 200 is recalled
To verify recall status for your exact vehicle, use official sources and your VIN. This ensures you get a precise, up-to-date picture of any campaigns that may apply to you.

- Visit official recall lookup tools: use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall lookup at SaferCar.gov and/or the Stellantis/Chrysler recall portal, and enter your VIN to see current recalls and upcoming actions.
- Review the results carefully: check the campaign numbers, affected components, and service dates. Note any recalls that show as open or pending.
- Contact your dealership with the recall information: if a recall is listed for your VIN, schedule the service. Recall work is free of charge.
- Optional: sign up for recall alerts and keep your service records: you’ll be notified of new recalls relevant to your VIN and can retain proof of completion for future reference.
