Auburn Hills, MI – October 6, 2026 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the Dodge brand, is recalling 74,578 2021-2023 Dodge Durango SUVs because their rear spoilers may detach. The defect could result in an accident and subsequent injuries.
The affected vehicles were recalled in 2021 and 2023 but the repairs proved to be insufficient.
Recall summary
A spoiler is a piece of plastic trim that sits on top of the liftgate for aesthetic purposes.
The spoiler in the affected vehicles was not properly aligned with the roof, resulting in damage during liftgate use.
This could cause it to detach from the vehicle while it is in motion.
Recall risks
The spoiler can hit other vehicles on the road or create road debris. Either scenario can result in a serious accident.
Background of the recall
