Chrysler Recalls 2013 Dodge Durango Vehicles Due to Airbag Module Defect

Chrysler is recalling 2013 Dodge Durango vehicles because an incorrect airbag module may prevent side curtain airbags from deploying in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (airbag failure) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured between April 11, 2012, and July 20, 2012. The recall involves 1,449 vehicles that may have been built with the incorrect airbag occupant restraint control (ORC) module.

The defect poses a safety risk because, in the event of a side impact rearward of the second-row seat, the supplemental side airbag inflatable curtain may not deploy as intended. This failure increases the risk of occupant injury during a collision.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ORC module free of charge. The safety recall began on September 24, 2012. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
