the electric Dodge Charger Daytona is facing a somewhat embarrassing and humorous recall. It's not loud enough

2024-2025 Dodge Charger Daytonas have an issue, the vehicles’ amplifier may be missing software, which can prevent it from emitting exterior sounds including pedestrian warnings.

The models don’t comply with the  “Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid Electric Vehicles” (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141)

EVs are so quiet, the government deemed it necessary to add some sort of pedestrian warning sound to avoid accidents. 

It’s an embarrassing problem after Dodge spent a lot of time and marketing efforts promoting the vehicle’s Fratzonic “exhaust” external noise maker.

That particular system was long touted as the answer to making EV muscle cars as exciting as their ICE counterparts by giving them the same sort of sounds and feel as traditional gas models.
