Default Bad thermostat out of Box. Autozone.

I have a 2016 dodge charger. I’ve replaced my thermostat twice and both of them have had small cracks in them which is letting coolant out. It’s a Duralast Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly 82403DL. I want to find the original MOPAR thermostat so I can buy and replace it. Any help?

Buy a better thermostat... Stant used to make some good ones, but, do NOT get a 'safety stat', those tend to fail rather quickly.

Which engine does your 2016 Charger have? If the 5.7L or 6.4L V8, RockAuto has the Mopar thermostat and housing. It doesn't appear they have Mopar for the 3.6L.
