Has your Dodge been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

Suspension › Front › Hub

  • Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed
Summary
Skf is recalling 2,805 hub units, part no. BR930361, sold as a service part for 1997-2004 Dodge dakota vehicles and 1999-2003 Dodge durango vehicles equipped with 2-wheel drive & rear axle ABS.

Should wheel-end separation occur, the driver could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
