Dodge Grand Caravan Recalls
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the nuts that attach the windshield wiper arms may not have been tightened properly. This could cause the wipers to slip and not clear the windshield properly. Safety Risk: Windshield wipers that do not work properly could affect a driver's visibility. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to tighten the nuts on the windshield wiper arms.
Summary
Issue: Due to a production issue, a small number of vehicles were built with daytime running lamps (DRLs) that don't turn off when the fog lights are switched on. As of September 1, 2020, new Canadian regulations require the DRLs to turn off when the front fog lamps are switched on. Safety Risk: This is a technical non-compliance that is unlikely to affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. FCA Canada has confirmed that all other vehicles produced after September 1, 2020, comply with Canadian regulations.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the emblem on the steering wheel could become loose. If this happens, the emblem or its retainers could become projectiles when the airbag inflates in a crash. Safety Risk: Loose parts that are projected toward the occupants when an airbag deploys could increase the risk of an injury. Corrective Actions: FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the airbag cover on the steering wheel.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the striker for the seat latches on the second and third row seats may not be properly welded.

Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to add a striker reinforcement bracket for the second and third row outboard seats.

In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect the steering wheel wiring and replace it as necessary. A protective covering will also be installed on the wiring harness.
