Some Dodge Charger owners report experiencing warranty denials for motor seizure issues due to alleged modifications, particularly when tampering with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is involved. For instance, a 2023 Hellcat Jailbreak owner had their warranty claim denied for a blown engine after a Stellantis Calibration Engineer confirmed PCM tampering. Additionally, Dodge may deny warranty claims on a case-by-case basis, especially if engine failure is linked to aftermarket modifications like a blower. While dealers or Chrysler can deny specific claims, it's important to note that they cannot void the entire warranty; each claim is evaluated individually. Owners should be cautious, as modifying the PCM or other powertrain components can lead to warranty denial by placing extra stress on engine systems. Therefore, Dodge Charger owners should be mindful of how modifications may affect their warranty coverage.
