What the reviewed source says

Start with the documented condition, not a parts guess.

NHTSA lists the 2017 Dodge Charger in safety campaign 17V496000. The official record says: The engine oil cooler (EOC) hoses may fail resulting in a rapid loss of engine oil. The stated safety consequence is: If an EOC line fails, oil may spray onto the windshield or contact a hot surface, impairing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash or fire. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.
