Questions to ask

Pose these to the service advisor at intake. Request answers in writing or via email.

How many open recall and software campaigns currently apply to VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) [VIN]?
Which performance variant is VIN [VIN] (R/T, Scat Pack, Banshee), and which campaigns specifically apply to that variant?
What software versions are currently installed on the Uconnect, BMS (Battery Management System), motor controller, and Fratzonic Exhaust modules?
Has the Dodge dealer cross-referenced any STLA Large campaigns originally issued for the Jeep Wagoneer S when assessing VIN [VIN]?
If the issue involves performance-mode behavior under sustained high-load conditions, has it been characterized as 'within specification' or as a defect?
Does the Dodge dealer service center handling VIN [VIN] have BEV-specific diagnostic equipment and technician training current as of the visit date?

Documents to request

Each item should be received in writing before authorizing repair work.

Diagnostic report listing all stored, pending, and historical fault codes from the affected modules including motor controllers and Fratzonic Exhaust system
Repair order with technician notes, including a list of every recall and campaign reference number addressed during the visit, with variant identification (R/T, Scat Pack, Banshee)
Written confirmation of software versions installed before and after the visit on each affected module
Written confirmation of which campaigns are now closed for VIN [VIN] following the visit
Documentation of any thermal management or performance limitation thresholds that the dealer has identified

Pre-service evidence

Capture before drop-off. Once the vehicle leaves your possession, proving prior condition becomes significantly harder.

Record specific incidents — when reduced power activated, ambient and battery temperature, driving conditions, sustained high-performance duration — with dates
Photograph cluster warning messages at the time they appeared, particularly during performance driving
Save all Stellantis correspondence regarding software updates, recalls, or feature delivery timelines
Save records of any incidents involving Fratzonic Exhaust malfunction, PowerShot failures, or performance-mode anomalies
Note the variant configuration (R/T, Scat Pack, Banshee) and any specific performance equipment
Note odometer reading at drop-off and at pickup

Service advisor interaction

Operational notes specific to the conversation at the service desk.

Record the full name of the service advisor and the technician performing the work
The Charger Daytona EV is the first BEV in Dodge's US lineup; some service centers may have limited prior BEV-specific experience. Confirm in writing that the technician has appropriate STLA Large training.
Performance variants (Banshee specifically) have distinct calibrations from the base R/T. Diagnostic procedures appropriate for one variant may not fully address another variant's specific behavior.
Performance-driving fault patterns may not reproduce during a standard service-center diagnostic. Owner-documented incident records are operationally important for the diagnostic process.
Fratzonic Exhaust is unique to this vehicle within Stellantis' lineup. Technician familiarity varies; verbal characterizations of expected sound behavior should be documented for reference

Repair authorization

Cautions before signing.

Recall and software campaign work is performed at no charge to the owner; do not authorize any charge for parts or labor associated with these campaigns
If a diagnostic fee is presented, request written confirmation of whether the fee is refundable if the issue is later determined to be recall- or campaign-covered
If motor controller or Fratzonic Exhaust component replacement is quoted, request written warranty classification before signing the repair authorization
Performance variant repair quotes (Banshee specifically) can include specialized components not common to base configurations; confirm pricing reflects actual variant equipment
Repair authorization signatures often include language permitting additional related work — read the document and decline blanket additional work in advance

Post-service verification

Complete before leaving the service location. Issues that surface after departure are operationally harder to attribute to the visit.

Verify the Uconnect system functions normally without unexpected freezes or reboots during a short test drive
Conduct a verified DC fast charging session at a CCS-compatible fast charger before traveling more than a short distance from the dealership
Test PowerShot engagement and behavior, if applicable to the service
Test Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust sound modes for correct operation
If the vehicle is a Banshee variant, test high-output mode engagement
Confirm no warning messages or system errors on the cluster after a full ignition cycle

Warranty notes

Stellantis has issued recalls and service campaigns affecting the Charger Daytona EV during the early production period. The applicable campaigns for VIN [VIN] should be checked at every service visit, including any cross-platform STLA Large campaigns originating with the Jeep Wagoneer S.
Charger Daytona EV components are covered under Dodge's New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the high-voltage battery component warranty (8 years / 100,000 miles in most US markets). Coverage period and conditions should be confirmed in writing.
Performance-related components on the Banshee variant carry the same basic warranty as standard components, but warranty-claim disputes around 'misuse' under high-performance conditions are operationally common and should be documented carefully.
Recall remedies are performed at no charge to the owner regardless of vehicle age, mileage, or warranty status.

Observational patterns

The Charger Daytona EV is Dodge's first BEV, built on Stellantis' STLA Large platform shared with the Jeep Wagoneer S. Cross-platform campaign coverage depends on the Dodge dealer system actively cross-referencing Jeep-issued service bulletins.

Performance variants (Banshee specifically) introduce calibration-specific diagnostic considerations. A 'standard' diagnostic procedure developed for the R/T variant may not fully address a Banshee-specific defect.

Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust is unique within Stellantis' lineup. Sound-system defects can be characterized as cosmetic, but the system is a functional vehicle component covered by warranty during the warranty period.

Reduced-power events under sustained high-performance driving may be platform-design behavior rather than defect. Service interactions should distinguish between expected thermal management behavior and out-of-specification reduced-power events.

OTA (Over-the-Air software update) delivery does not always produce a corresponding entry in the dealer-side service record. The closure of a recall delivered over the air requires explicit documentation through the dealer system.
