On certain vehicles, the rear brake tube may contact an underbody crossmember during normal vehicle operation and eventually wear a hole in the tube. If the tube becomes perforated, a reduction in braking will occur at the rear wheels, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and a rubber isolator will be installed on the brake tube. Those vehicles exhibiting contact that have more than 75,000km will have the brake tube replaced with the production tube and isolator.

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank strap may separate due to high stress concentration at the double toggle lock upset area. Fuel tank strap separation could result in the fuel tank contacting the road surface or, on vehicles equipped with a fuel tank skid plate, the tank may contact the skid plate and wear at the point of contact. Either condition could result in fuel tank leakage. Correction: Double toggle lock fuel tank straps will be replaced with the single toggle lock design.

1998 Dodge Durango recall questions
Transport Canada lists 3 recalls for the 1998 Dodge Durango model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window, and some only vehicles found on inspection. NHTSA lists 6 United States campaigns for the US-market model, shown separately; a US campaign may have no Canadian equivalent.
Enter your VIN in Dodge's Canadian recall lookup, or call a Dodge dealer with your VIN. In Canada the manufacturer is responsible for showing recall and repair status for each VIN, so its lookup is the authoritative answer. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. NHTSA campaigns cover vehicles sold in the United States, and NHTSA's VIN lookup has no Canadian data. When a defect also affects Canadian vehicles, the manufacturer files a separate notice with Transport Canada, often under a different number and sometimes covering a different set of vehicles. For a Canadian vehicle, go by the Transport Canada listing and Dodge's Canadian lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized Dodge dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once Dodge's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized Dodge dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with Dodge Canada so notices reach you, and check the manufacturer's lookup from time to time.
