The 2005 Dodge Durango has 7 recalls, the most serious being Takata airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin, risking serious injury or death.
A separate fire risk involves the fuel tank filler tube check valve, which may not fully close after refueling and can allow fuel to spill from the filler neck. Spilled fuel near an ignition source can start a fire. There is also an electrical concern: an integrated circuit inside the instrument cluster that controls interior lighting can overheat under certain conditions, which may cause a fire behind the instrument panel.
