New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Y73
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2021 Model Year (WD) Dodge Durango vehicles.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles may have been built with a rear spoiler that is over-flush to the roof, allowing contact to the roof when cycling the liftgate. Vehicle occupants may hear the spoiler hitting the body when opening or closing the liftgate, or a rattle from the spoiler being loose while driving. An over-flush rear spoiler may become damaged when cycling the liftgate which may result in the spoiler becoming partially detached from the vehicle. Rear spoilers that become partially detached may separate from the vehicle while driving, potentially creating a road hazard to operators and occupants of other vehicles, and can cause such vehicles to crash without prior warning.
SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear spoiler. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 4th Quarter of 2021.
Revised February 2022

Subject
The rear spoiler on about 4,830 of the above vehicles may be over-flush to the roof, allowing contact to the roof when cycling the liftgate. Vehicle occupants may hear the spoiler hitting the body when opening or closing the liftgate, or a rattle from the spoiler being loose while driving. An over-flush rear spoiler may become damaged when cycling the liftgate which may result in the spoiler becoming partially detached from the vehicle.
Repair
The rear spoiler will be inspected for looseness and gaps that indicate it may not have been installed properly. If needed, the upper spoiler section will be replaced, and the spoiler reattached to the vehicle.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that spoiler replacement is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.

Special Tools
The following special tool is required to perform this repair:
➢ C-4755 | Trim Stick |
Service Procedure
A. Inspect
- Grasp the rear spoiler with one hand and gently push to feel for loose fasteners. After feeling for looseness, release the spoiler, and check the gap between the spoiler and the hatch glass on each side of the spoiler in line with the roof rack. If the gap is greater than 5mm, the upper spoiler must be replaced (Figure 1).
- Rest a small straight edge (like to driver license or credit card) on the roof and check for flushness of the liftgate. Check at the center (behind the antennae), and at each end. The spoiler must not be more than 1mm over flush to the body. If it is, the upper spoiler must be replaced (Figure 2).
- Measure the gap between the spoiler and roof on the right and left ends. This gap must be 6mm or greater. If not, the upper spoiler must be replaced (Figures 3 and 4).
- Visually inspect the lip seal. The seal must be sitting tight to the spoiler and not catching on the roof. The seal must not be distorted. If the seal does not pass inspection, the upper spoiler must be replaced (Figure 5).
- With the help of an assistant, open the liftgate while looking cross-car to ensure the spoiler seal does not hang up on the roof. Close the gate while making the same inspection. Repeat several times, while inspecting from both sides of the vehicle. A slight brush condition is acceptable. If the seal gets hung up, the upper spoiler must be replaced (Figure 6).
NOTE: If any one of the five inspection criteria above do not meet requirements, the rear spoiler must be replaced. If all five inspection criteria are met, the recall can be marked complete and the vehicle returned to the customer.
B. Remove
- Move the passenger seat forward.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable.
- Open the liftgate.
- Remove the header trim (Figure 7).
- Disconnect the electrical connector to the courtesy light, if equipped.
- Disconnect the washer solvent supply hose and the CHMSL electrical connector (Figure 8).
NOTE: Use a bucket to catch any fluid that may drip from the washer solvent supply hose.
- Press down on the pull cup on the liftgate trim (Figure 9).
- Using a Trim Stick C-4755 or equivalent, at the top in the center, release the cup from the trim panel (Figure 9).
- Remove the two pull cups (1) from the lower trim panel (Figure 10).
- Using a Trim Stick C-4755 or equivalent, release the six lower retaining clips (3) and carefully pry the trim panel (1) away from the inside of the liftgate (4) (Figure 11).
- Carefully release the upper retaining clips (2) and separate the trim panel completely from the liftgate (Figure 11).
- Disconnect the trim panel lighting connectors.
- Remove the lower liftgate trim panel from the vehicle.
CAUTION: Green trim panel attachment clips should be discarded and replaced with new ones anytime the trim is removed.

- 14. Remove the four spoiler mounting nuts (1) (Figure 13).
- Remove the rubber body plug from the liftgate (Figure 14).

Note: Do not try to separate Spoiler until hidden W clip is released or clip may be damaged (Step 16).
- With a helper, pivot the spoiler (2) towards the front of the vehicle (Figure 13).
- Remove spoiler from vehicle.
- Inspect the w-clip hole in the sheet metal to assure they are flush. If removing the spoiler pulled this surface up, flatten it back with a soft mallet. If the grommet stayed on the body when the spoiler was removed, transfer it to the new spoiler.
C. Paint new Upper Spoiler
- Paint the new replacement upper spoiler per the approved warranty refinish paint manufacturers (Akzo Nobel, Axalta, BASF, PPG, and Sherwin-Williams) recommendations.
D. Transfer Components
- Remove five round, reusable clips holding the upper and lower spoiler together (Figure 16).
- Using trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, at each end of the spoiler, and working from the back of the spoiler, release the tabs holding the upper and lower spoiler together (Figure 17).
- Release eight additional tabs by gently pulling the two spoiler halves apart (Figure 18).
- Remove two screws holding CHMSL lens to the upper spoiler (Figure 19).
- Remove the CHMSL lens and wiring from the spoiler. Transfer the CHMSL nuts to the new spoiler.
- Working on a padded surface to protect the paint, install the CHMSL lens and harness to the new spoiler upper.
- Install the two screws holding the CHMSL to the upper spoiler (Figure 19).
- Transfer the center W clip, and the four T studs (the two center studs are larger, the outer studs are smaller) from the old spoiler to the new.
- Assemble the original lower spoiler to the new painted upper spoiler, beginning with the 8 center most tabs (Figure 19).

The estimated repair time is one hour. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time.
