Dodge Durango: 12V560000
RepairPal Expert Overview
Our Quick Take:
The label that states the passenger seating capacity is incorrect and needs to be replaced.
What Should You Do?
Please ignore any seating capacity information that states the vehicle can carry more passengers than there are seat belts available. Chrysler will mail a new label to the owners of affected vehicles during February 2013. If you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It’s helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call. The Chrysler recall number is M36.
Summary:
Some 2013 Durangos have been assembled with incorrect seating capacity information label. The label might overstate the seating capacity. Driving a vehicle with too many passenges would increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Chrysler will provide replacement labels, owners may install the updated label or have their local dealers install the label.
