Dodge Dart warranty claim denied?
361 manufacturer communications on file
4 warranty extensions / campaigns 2012–2016 model years covered
If your dealer just denied a warranty claim on your 2012–2016 Dodge Dart, you're not alone, and that denial may not be the end of the road. NHTSA's public records show 361 manufacturer technical communications filed for this model, including 4 formal warranty extensions or service campaigns. Among them are three separate extensions (2023, 2023, 2024) addressing 2.4L engine excessive oil consumption under the XB1 program, where owners reported symptoms like low oil pressure lamp illumination. A separate 2016 extension covers RB5/RB6 radio and navigation software issues.
Dealers sometimes deny claims based on mileage cutoffs, incomplete diagnostics, or simply not cross-checking an active extension or campaign against the symptoms described. When a documented defect pattern like these matches what you experienced, a denial built on those grounds can sometimes be reconsidered once the right documentation is presented.
ClaimRight offers a free assessment of your denial letter, repair history, and the manufacturer's own bulletins to see whether your situation lines up with a documented extension or campaign. There's no cost unless we're able to help you move forward, and no promise of a particular result — just a clear, documented look at the options available to you.

Common questions
Why would a dealer deny my Dodge Dart warranty claim if there's a known manufacturer issue?
Dealers often base denials on mileage, warranty period cutoffs, or an initial diagnosis, without necessarily cross-referencing every manufacturer bulletin or extension on file. A documented issue, such as one covered by a warranty extension, doesn't automatically get applied unless someone checks for it. That's why reviewing the denial alongside the manufacturer's own technical records can sometimes reveal options that weren't considered the first time.
What is a warranty extension, and could one apply to my Dart?
A warranty extension is a manufacturer-issued program that lengthens coverage for a specific, identified defect pattern beyond the standard warranty terms. For the 2012–2016 Dodge Dart, NHTSA records show extensions related to 2.4L engine oil consumption (XB1) and radio/navigation software (RB5/RB6). Whether one applies depends on your vehicle's VIN, model year, and the specific symptoms documented in your repair history.
What should I do after my warranty claim gets denied?
Start by requesting the denial in writing with the stated reason, and gather your repair orders, mileage records, and any symptom descriptions you reported. Compare those details against publicly filed manufacturer bulletins for your vehicle. A free assessment can help you understand whether your documentation aligns with an existing extension or campaign before deciding on next steps.
