What is wrong
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Dodge Durango vehicles. The terminals in the tail light wiring harness may be damaged and cause the tail lights to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Tail lights that fail to illuminate properly reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Why lighting defects matter: Lamps that are dim, aimed wrongly or not working reduce what the driver can see and how visible the vehicle is to others.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the tail light assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 3, 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is A2D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 29, 2026.
About the lighting
Federal standards set how bright, how aimed and how visible each lamp must be; many lighting recalls are compliance campaigns.

What to do
- Enter your VIN in NHTSA’s lookup (below) to confirm that your vehicle is included and that the repair has not already been done.

- Walk around the vehicle with the lights on and check each lamp, including brake lamps and turn signals.
- Safety recall repairs are carried out free of charge by the manufacturer’s dealers. If you already paid for this repair yourself, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement and keep your receipt.
Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
