19 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2026. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Dodge Durango vehicles may have damaged electrical connections in the tail light wiring. This damage can cause the tail lights to fail. When the tail lights do not light up properly, other drivers may have more difficulty seeing the vehicle. The vehicles fail to meet federal lighting requirements. Dealers will inspect the tail lights and replace them as necessary, free of charge.
On some Dodge Durango vehicles, the rear spoiler may not line up correctly with the roof. Because of this, the spoiler can get damaged when the liftgate is opened or closed. A damaged spoiler could eventually come loose from the vehicle. A spoiler that falls off onto the road creates a hazard for other drivers, which raises the risk of a crash.
In some Grand Cherokee and Durango SUVs, a malfunction in the antilock brake module can incorrectly turn on the brake lights and disable the antilock brakes and stability control. It may also allow the vehicle to be started and shifted out of Park without the driver pressing the brake pedal.
A software issue in the radio can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying on the screen. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the requirements of the federal safety standard for rear visibility, FMVSS 111. To fix the problem, dealers will update the radio software, or the software update will be delivered over-the-air. This repair is free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles.
A software problem in the ABS control module can disable the electronic stability control system on affected Dodge Durango and Ram trucks. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard for electronic stability control systems.
On some Durango Pursuit police vehicles with a dashboard-mounted gear shifter, the shifter boot may interfere with the shifter and cause it to slip out of gear while the vehicle is being driven. When this happens, the vehicle can suddenly lose the power that drives the wheels, which increases the risk of a crash.
The rear spoiler on some Durango SUVs may not be lined up correctly with the roof. This misalignment can cause the spoiler to get damaged simply from normal use of the liftgate, opening and closing it over time. If the spoiler becomes damaged, it can eventually come loose and detach from the vehicle while driving, leaving a piece of the vehicle in the road for other drivers to encounter.
In some Dodge Charger and Durango vehicles, the shifter assembly was not heat-treated properly. Because of this, the shifter may not fully engage in the 'drive' position. A shifter that is not properly engaged can slip out of drive on its own, causing the vehicle to suddenly lose the power needed to keep moving. This loss of drive power can happen while the vehicle is being driven.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles because a malfunction in the anti-lock brake system module may turn on the brake lights and let the vehicle start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being pressed. A vehicle that does this can roll away on its own, increasing the risk of a crash without warning, and can injure people outside the vehicle.
Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve may stick open. When this happens, the vehicle can unexpectedly lose drive power while being driven.
In certain Dodge Durango vehicles, a bar inside the steering gear rack may not have been hardened enough during manufacturing. Because it is too soft, this bar can bind, or stick, inside the steering rack. When that happens, the driver may find it difficult to steer the vehicle, or in some cases may lose the ability to steer it at all, which affects control of the vehicle.
A problem with the computer that controls the anti-lock brakes may prevent the electronic stability control warning light from turning on when it should, under certain conditions. If that warning light fails to turn on during an electronic stability control problem, it increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the software in that computer to fix the issue, free of charge.
Some Durango SUVs have a rear spoiler that may not be lined up correctly with the roof. Because of this misalignment, the spoiler can get damaged when the liftgate is opened or closed.
Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge Durango SUVs. A fastener that holds the side curtain airbag in place may be loose or missing. Dealers will tighten the fastener or replace it if needed.
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles with 8.4-inch or 12-inch radio screens. A software error can leave the backup camera picture on the screen after the driver has shifted out of reverse. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule covering rear visibility. Dealers will update the radio display software. Owners can also choose to have the software updated remotely, over the air, instead of visiting a dealer.
On certain 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles, the front differential may have gears that were not hardened enough, causing the gear teeth to wear down over time. If both gears wear down enough, power can no longer reach the front wheels from the driveline. This can cause a sudden loss of power while driving, and can also cause the transmission to lose its PARK function when the vehicle is stopped.
A voltage regulator chip on the circuit board inside the powertrain control module may fail. If this chip fails, the vehicle may stall while it is being driven, or it may fail to start at all. To correct this problem, Chrysler dealers will replace the entire powertrain control module with a new one so the vehicle does not experience this stalling or no-start condition again.
Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Chrysler vehicles from several model years because the cruise control may not shut off. If a wire inside the vehicle shorts out while cruise control is in use, the driver may not be able to cancel it by pressing the brake pedal or by switching the system off. The vehicle could keep going at its set speed or even speed up. Dealers will inspect and reprogram the engine or powertrain computer.
On certain 2018 Dodge Charger, Durango and Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Ram 1500 vehicles, the wrong part may have been installed in the transmission that locks it into park. Because of this, the transmission may fail to shift into 'park' and hold the vehicle in place, meaning the vehicle could move on its own when the driver thinks it is safely parked.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

The 2021 Dodge Durango has the most, with 8 recalls. The 2026 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 19 Dodge Durango recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
