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.

Check recalls by VIN
A VIN search checks the displayed NHTSA records for an unrepaired safety recall associated with one vehicle. A model search shows only the wider campaign population.
Read guide ↗When a car is unsafe
A warning light does not always mean the same thing, but weak brakes or smoke leave little room for experimentation. Damaged tires and certain recall instructions can do the same.
Read guide ↗Why symptoms overlap
“It makes a weird noise” is useful human language. Diagnosis begins when that language is tied to the exact vehicle and its operating conditions.
