Not saying it could not happen from a bad charger, but *IF* if does happen from a bad charger chrysler still has to
a) be able to figure it out (in warranty)
b) point without a doubt to a bad charger
c) fix the problem in warranty because unless you connect the 110 directly to the car, as long as a battery is connected the computer protection circuits should be able to protect the car/computer electronics.
Not all that said: I do personally not believe you can really damage the car with a charger just so long you do not have a short in the charger and you literally connect the 110 directly to the battery. Even the most simplistic chargers, (just a transformer and some diodes)
in combination with the battery cannot produce a high enough voltage to damage your electronics. The whole situation will change if you connect a cheap charger and have your battery disconnected. THAT can screw up your electronics royally.
