- Notes
- Door latch striker assemblies may have a brittle striker sleeve and washer.failure of either of these parts by cracking could render the door latch inoperative once the door is opened.the striker can- not become disengaged from the lock pillar while the door is closed. Therefore, there is no hazard of door coming open while car is in operation.(replace door latch striker assemblies.)

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.
