Dodge Durango Rear Spoiler Damage and Detachment Recall Guide
Rear spoiler alignment is the recurring problem in these Dodge Durango notices. The 2021 recall, campaign Y73, covers certain 2021 Durango vehicles whose spoilers may be misaligned with the roof and damaged during liftgate use. Campaign 20A, announced in 2023, describes the same problem for certain 2021-2023 Durango vehicles. The 2026 notice, campaign 61D, also covers certain 2021-2023 Durango vehicles and identifies possible spoiler damage during liftgate use. The 2021 model year appears in each notice, while 2022 and 2023 appear in both later notices. The shared concern is that a damaged spoiler can detach and become a road hazard, increasing crash risk.
Warning signs to watch for
- The notices for these recalls do not describe any warning sign an owner would notice.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of the supplied Dodge Durango spoiler notices carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Campaign Y73, covering certain 2021 Durango vehicles, does not tell owners to stop driving. Campaign 20A, covering certain 2021-2023 Durango vehicles, likewise does not tell owners to stop driving. Campaign 61D, also covering certain 2021-2023 Durango vehicles, does not tell owners to stop driving. Across these notices, there is no separate instruction directing affected owners to park their Durango outside while awaiting the specified spoiler remedy.
What the free repair involves
For Y73 and 20A, dealers inspect and replace the rear spoiler as necessary, free of charge. For 61D, dealers inspect and replace or repair the spoiler and align the liftgate as necessary, free of charge. The specified work therefore depends on the particular recall covering the vehicle.
