What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your Durango is included.
2. Contact a dealer, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-852-1403, to have the steering gear assembly checked.
3. The replacement is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V154000.
