Recall Alert: 2013 Dodge Durango


(Cars.com)

Chrysler is recalling 1,449 model-year 2013 versions of the Dodge Durango SUV due to problems with the side curtain airbags, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The affected vehicles were manufactured from April 11 through July 20, 2012 (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb), and use an incorrect airbag occupant restraint control module. In the event of a side-impact crash behind the second row, the curtain airbags may not deploy. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.

Chrysler will notify owners starting next month, and dealers will replace the affected parts free of charge. Owners can call Chrysler at 800-853-1403 or NHTSA's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
