2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan has 5 recalls, the most serious including a right rear wheel that can separate from the vehicle, a driver's airbag that can deploy unexpectedly while driving, and a door switch that can overheat and cause a fire. The right rear hub and bearing assembly can fail and allow the wheel to come off entirely, creating a loss of control risk and a hazard to nearby vehicles or bystanders. The driver's airbag can deploy without warning due to chafed wiring in the steering wheel, which can startle or injure the driver or trigger a crash. The vent window switch in the driver's door armrest can overheat and ignite a fire. On Amerivan wheelchair-accessible conversions built on this platform, the rear shock absorber upper mounts can separate from the chassis, reducing control over the vehicle's handling. There is also a power liftgate concern: the right side sensor can fail to detect an obstruction during closing, meaning the liftgate may not stop and could trap a hand or other body part.
