Buying a used 2023 Dodge Durango? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls apply: a shifter that can slip out of gear on Pursuit models, and a rear spoiler that may come off in traffic. Owner complaints total 36, unverified reports filed with NHTSA, spread across exterior lighting at 12, powertrain at nine, electrical at nine and engine at six, with two crashes and two injuries reported. Recall exposure is much lighter than the 2021 and 2022 Durangos, though lighting and powertrain remain the most-reported owner areas.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Determine whether this is a Pursuit model covered by the shifter recall
- Inspect rear spoiler attachment points for looseness or prior repair
- Ask about transmission behavior and any exterior lighting issues
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
