Vehicle Model Year(s) Make / Model: 2013 DODGE / DURANGO Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC Report Receipt Date: DEC 04, 2012 Component: SEATS Potential Number of Units Affected: 734



Summary: Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Durango vehicles manufactured April 27, 2012, through September 14, 2012. The vehicles may have been built with incorrect seating capacity information labels. The label might overstate the seating capacity. Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS number



110 "Tire Selection and Rims."

Consequence: The vehicle may be filled over capacity which could increase injury during a vehicle crash.



Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and provide replacement labels free of charge. At the owner's option, they may take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for installation of the label. The service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in February



2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753.
