The 2007 Dodge Durango has 4 recalls, the most serious being a right front steering knuckle that can fracture without warning, causing a sudden and complete loss of steering control.
The steering knuckle defect affects certain vehicles where the part can crack and break while driving, leaving the driver unable to steer. Both recalls describing this issue cover the same underlying defect, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve it for all affected vehicles.
The remaining two recalls involve the front airbag inflators, covering both the driver and passenger sides. In a crash, either inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, putting the driver and any front passenger at serious risk of injury. This is the well-documented Takata-related inflator issue that affected a wide range of vehicles across multiple manufacturers. If these inflators have not yet been replaced, the airbags pose a hazard in any collision that triggers deployment.
