Chrysler is recalling 2011-2014 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles because sun visor wiring may short circuit, increasing the risk of fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (wiring) that creates an increased risk of fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury or property-damage reports.

Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013. The recall involves approximately 653,562 vehicles.
