Chrysler recalls 74,578 Dodge Durango vehicles over rear spoiler issue
Recall announced
Chrysler is recalling about 74,578 vehicles in the United States, affecting certain 2021-23 Dodge Durango vehicles, because the rear spoiler may not be properly aligned with the roof, which could cause it to become damaged when the liftgate is used and increase the risk of detachment onto the road. A fix is under development and recall letters are expected to be mailed to owners early next month.
