Inherited terms

Factory terms this model inherits from Chrysler

Basic
3 years or 36,000 miles
Powertrain
5 years or 60,000 miles

Confirm against your VIN. The clock starts at first sale. Terms vary by model year, trim and market.

The terms are filed by brand, not by model, so a particular trim or market may differ. The Chrysler drawer has the worked example.

Model-year rows

Chrysler 200, year by year

Example columns only. The odometer column assumes 12,000 miles a year from the model year to 2026. The calendar columns assume the car was first sold during its model year; a car sold earlier or later moves both. The record links go to Click 4 Coverage, the advertiser.

Federal file · recalls

Recall campaigns

15 distinct NHTSA recall campaigns name this model across the 6 model years in the file, or 2.5 per model year.

A recall is a free repair the maker performs. The count is not a defect rate and is not adjusted for how many cars were sold. Whether a given car has had its recall work done is answered by a VIN lookup on the federal recall site.

Campaign numbers: 11V487000, 13V043000, 13V282000, 13V552000, 14V392000, 14V480000, 15V090000, 15V461000, 15V470000, 16V114000, 16V529000, 16V589000, 16V668000, 17V640000, 18V332000.

Federal file · complaints

Most-reported components

3,838 complaints on file for this model across the model years in the file.

Self-reported safety complaints, not adjusted for sales volume, and not verified by NHTSA as defects. Counted by distinct complaint number; one complaint can name several components, so the rows add up to more than the total. Complaint counts tend to rise after a recall is announced. A component named often is where owners reported problems, not a measured failure rate.

Chrysler 200 years to avoid? The complaint count by model year

Within this model only, the model years with the most self-reported safety complaints on file: 2015 (1,993), 2012 (638), 2013 (628). This ranks years of one model against each other and is not adjusted for sales volume. Newer model years have had fewer years on the road in which to collect complaints, and a year showing zero means no complaint in the file matched that model year under the strings used. Read it as a record, not a verdict.
