Chrysler Recalls 13,330 Dodge Durangos Over Tail Lights That Can Fail

Chrysler is recalling 13,330 vehicles: 2026 Dodge Durangos in which damaged terminals in the tail light wiring harness may cause the tail lights to fail, which violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. A vehicle with no working tail lights is hard to see from behind at night and in poor weather, and the failure gives following drivers no braking signal.

Dealers will inspect and replace tail light assemblies as needed. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 3, 2026, and VINs are searchable on NHTSA's website. The Durango filing was one of five recalls filed with NHTSA between October 20 and 22, alongside the Lincoln Nautilus park module, Ford tailgate cable, BMW starter cable, and a small GM seat-weld campaign.

Four of those five filings trace back to how the car was built or fixed, not to a part that wore out — a supplier's undisclosed oil change, weak welds, damaged terminals, and a cable that can loosen on cars that already had one recall repair. Owners of any 2026 Durango should check their VIN now and not assume a new vehicle is automatically clear.
