Dodge Brake Recalls Cover Rollaway, Pedal Collapse, and Warning Failures
Durango ABS module problems recur in this group. The June 2022 and November 2024 notices cover certain 2018-2019 Durangos and describe brake light illumination and the ability to start and shift out of Park without pressing the brake pedal. The November notice also identifies disabled ABS and electronic stability control. A separate notice covers an ESC warning indicator failure in 2021-2022 Durangos. Other models have different brake defects: certain 2018-2019 Grand Caravans and 2018 Journeys may have reduced rear braking from insufficiently coated caliper pistons, while certain 2024-2025 Hornets may experience brake pedal collapse and loss of brake function.
Warning signs to watch for
- June 2022 Durango ABS recall: Brake lights may illuminate, and the vehicle may start and shift out of Park without brake pedal application.
- August 2018 rear brake recall, U86: Rear braking performance may be reduced.
- October 2024 Hornet recall, B7B: The brake pedal may collapse, causing loss of brake function.

Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of these five brake recall notices tells owners to stop driving, and none includes a park-outside instruction. The June 2022 Durango rollaway notice and November 2024 Durango ABS module notice do not tell owners to stop driving. The August 2018 rear brake notice for Grand Caravan and Journey, October 2024 Hornet brake pedal notice, and March 2022 Durango ESC warning indicator notice likewise do not tell owners to stop driving. Those are the driving instructions provided in the supplied notices.
What the free repair involves
Free remedies include bleeding brakes for U86, reinforcing the brake pedal arm for B7B, replacing the integrated pressure transducer and updating ABS software as necessary for 94B, and updating ABS software for Z20. The June 2022 notice specifies updated HCU/ABS software and says the new remedy is required after its replacement by 24V838; its excerpt gives no cost statement.
