AIR BAGS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Dodge Durango vehicles. The Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) fastener may be loose or missing.
- What it can cause
- A loose or missing fastener may cause the side curtain air bag to deploy incorrectly, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will tighten or replace the fastener, free of charge. Owner notification letters were sent on May 7, 2021. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is Y16.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 2,721 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Dodge vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 46 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V396000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 252 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed. 13 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V528000 (structure), 24V436000 (back over prevention), 23V115000 (structure), 22V284000 (engine and engine cooling).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on April 22, 2021 as campaign 21V280000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
