Recall 19V759 affects 30,354 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan minivans for second- and third-row seat-striker weld failures. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.
Dodge is recalling 30,354 2019 Grand Caravan minivans because welds on rear seat strikers can fail in a crash, and some second-row seats do not meet required load standards. If a striker fails, the seat or seat belt can fail to restrain the occupant properly, increasing injury risk; Dodge dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The seat strikers in the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan are metal anchor points welded into the body near the second and third row seats. They help hold the seat latches in place, so the bench or bucket seat stays secured to the vehicle structure during normal driving and during a crash.
On affected Grand Caravans, the outboard striker welds were built outside specification. If those welds break in a front or rear impact, the seat latch loses part of its anchor, and the seat is not held against the crash loads it was designed to take. Dodge's repair adds a welded striker reinforcement bracket to the second and third row outboard seat strikers.
The warning sign is a seat that feels loose. If a second or third row seat shifts, rattles, or does not feel firmly locked to the floor, treat that as the sign to have the recall repair checked.

Not every 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific minivan is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the seat strikers fail, the seat or seat belt will not restrain the occupant as designed, increasing the risk of injury. If the second or third row seat feels loose, stop using that seating position and schedule the recall repair. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule the free striker reinforcement bracket weld that helps keep the second and third row outboard seat strikers from failing in a crash.
- Bring the recall notice if Dodge mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V759 when you call.
- Avoid placing passengers in the affected second and third row outboard seats until the repair is complete.
- Call Dodge customer service at 1-800-853-1403 with questions about scheduling or recall number 19V759.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dodge technician welds a striker reinforcement bracket onto the second and third row outboard seat strikers. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid for a related seat striker repair before the recall notice, Dodge's reimbursement process asks owners to send the original receipt or other proof of payment so the expense can be confirmed. Keep copies of your repair paperwork and ask the service desk how to submit it with the recall claim.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V759?
Recall 19V759 covers 30,354 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles with rear-seat striker welds that can fail during a front or rear impact crash. If the strikers fail, the seat or seat belt can fail to restrain the occupant enough, increasing the risk of injury.
What should I do if my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific van is included in recall 19V759. If it is, contact a franchised Dodge dealer to schedule the striker reinforcement bracket repair. Reference recall 19V759 or recall code V91 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to perform safety recall repairs at no cost, and Dodge dealers will weld in striker reinforcement brackets on the affected second and third row outboard seat strikers free of charge.
What is the safety risk in recall 19V759?
The safety risk is reduced occupant restraint during a crash. The affected seat striker welds can fail, and the seat or seat belt can fail to hold the occupant properly. That increases the risk of injury in an impact.
What if I bought my Dodge Grand Caravan used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is included, then call a franchised Dodge dealer and reference recall 19V759 or recall code V91.
