What's wrong?
The liftgate spoiler on affected 2021-2023 Dodge Durango and DURANGO1 vehicles is the trim piece mounted along the upper rear edge of the liftgate. It helps finish the roofline and sits close to the body panel as the liftgate opens and closes. The spoiler needs enough clearance so it does not strike the roof during normal liftgate movement.
On these vehicles, the issue is assembly alignment, not a defective spoiler material. Some rear spoilers were installed over-flush with the roof, which puts the spoiler too close to the body. When the liftgate cycles, the spoiler can contact the roof. That contact can damage the spoiler, loosen it, or require replacement after inspection.
Owners can hear the spoiler hitting the body when opening or closing the liftgate. While driving, a loose spoiler can make a rattle from the rear of the vehicle.
Who's affected?
All listed vehicles involve the liftgate spoiler area on the hatchback or liftgate body structure.

What's the safety risk?
A damaged rear spoiler can detach from the liftgate, become a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash. Listen for the spoiler hitting the body when the liftgate opens or closes, or for a loose-spoiler rattle while driving. Drive cautiously and schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Dodge dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dodge technician inspects the rear spoiler alignment and replaces the spoiler when the recall condition is found. The inspection, replacement part, and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for a related rear spoiler repair, FCA US asks customers to send the original receipt or other adequate proof of payment so the company can confirm the expense under its reimbursement practice.
