2004 DODGE DURANGO Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2004 Dodge Durango has 12 recalls, with multiple fire risks at the top of the list: a positive battery cable can chafe against the front suspension bracket and short-circuit, and a capacitor on the instrument cluster circuit board can overheat, in either case potentially starting a fire inside the engine bay or cabin. On 3.7L and 4.7L models, the throttle cable can trap water and freeze in extended cold weather, causing the throttle to stick open and leaving the driver unable to reduce engine power. The Takata airbag recalls cover both the driver and passenger frontal inflators, which can degrade over time and deploy with excessive force, sending metal fragments into the cabin. Two recalls involve the Kidde fire extinguisher included in the Roadside Emergency Kit: the extinguisher can clog, require excessive force to activate, or fail to discharge entirely, and the nozzle can detach with enough force to cause injury on its own.
