P0441 on the Final ICE Charger: What the Evidence Shows
Your 2023 Dodge Charger — the final model year for the ICE-powered LD platform — has triggered P0441 for incorrect EVAP purge flow. Whether you snagged one of the special-edition final runs with the 5.7L HEMI, 6.4L 392, or the supercharged 6.2L Hellcat, the EVAP system is the same across all variants. As a farewell model, Stellantis refined the platform over many years, so P0441 on a relatively new example typically points to a component issue easily resolved under warranty.
Symptoms You Might Notice
- Check engine light (steady)
- Full performance available — no power loss
- Possible subtle fuel smell
- No changes to SRT modes or performance features
Common Causes on a Late-Production Charger
1. ESIM Defect
Even on a refined platform, the ESIM can have manufacturing variances. Located near the charcoal canister under the vehicle, a marginally performing ESIM is the top P0441 cause on Stellantis vehicles regardless of model year.
2. PCM Software Calibration
Final-year models sometimes receive calibration updates as Stellantis makes last-round refinements. Your dealer can check for TSBs using wiTECH 2.0 and flash any available updates.
3. Purge Solenoid Valve
A factory-defective purge solenoid or one that's marginally performing under the extreme heat of the HEMI V8 variants.
4. EVAP Connection Issue
A vapor hose connection that's loosened after a year or two of driving, especially on high-performance variants where engine vibration is more pronounced.
What to Expect at the Dealer
- Bring your Charger in — warranty repair expected

Can I Drive With P0441?
Absolutely. Your Charger performs exactly as intended. P0441 is emissions-only — no horsepower lost, no track performance affected, no drivetrain impact whatsoever.
DIY vs Professional
Your 2023 Charger should still be within Stellantis's 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. Take it to the dealer for a free repair. As a final-year collector's model, keeping dealer service records adds value. Federal emissions warranty (8 years/80,000 miles) also covers EVAP components.
