STEERING:RACK AND PINION
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Dodge Durango and 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. The steering gear rack bar may have been insufficiently hardened during manufacturing, possibly allowing it to bind within the steering rack, and resulting in difficulty steering or a loss of steering control.
- What it can cause
- Difficulty steering, or a loss of steering control, can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the steering gear assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 12, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-852-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z18.
- 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.nhtsa.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 931 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, 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 steering 25 times before this, most recently in May 2016 as 16V273000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 401 complaints with NHTSA, 12 of them before this campaign was filed. 38 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V562000 (suspension), 26V528000 (structure), 24V720000 (electrical system), 24V436000 (back over prevention).
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 March 14, 2022 as campaign 22V154000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
