At Easterns CDJR in Camp Springs, our factory-certified team handles recall repairs at no cost to you, and you can contact our service team to get started today.

Why CDJR Recalls in Camp Springs Demand Your Attention Now

Recalls are issued when NHTSA or a manufacturer has confirmed a defect that compromises vehicle safety. Many drivers miss the notification, assume it can wait, or aren’t sure where to go. That delay carries real consequences.

Recalls can affect airbags, fuel lines, electrical components, and braking systems. When those systems fail, the results can be severe. Staying current on your recall status is a matter of personal safety and your responsibility to everyone sharing the road with you.

Active Recall Alert: The Takata Airbag

Few automotive safety issues have generated as much concern as the Takata airbag recall. The defect centers on the airbag inflator, which can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin. NHTSA has documented 28 deaths and at least 400 injuries in the U.S. from exploding Takata airbags. This is not a maintenance inconvenience.

Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, has issued a “Do Not Drive” warning for affected owners. Approximately 225,000 vehicles remain unrepaired in the U.S. If yours is among them, act now.

Which Dodge Vehicles Are Affected by the Takata Recall

The Takata recall affects specific Dodge models and model years:

• 2003–2010 Dodge Ram
• 2004–2009 Dodge Durango
• 2005–2011 Dodge Dakota
• 2005–2008 Dodge Magnum
• 2006–2015 Dodge Charger
• 2008–2014 Dodge Challenger

Because this recall spans multiple years and configurations, the most reliable way to confirm your specific status is to enter your VIN at NHTSA.gov, use a license-plate lookup at CheckToProtect.org, or use the Mopar® VIN tool. If you’re unsure, call our service department at (240) 492-7912 and we’ll check for you.

What Dodge Owners Should Do Immediately

Start with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number. If you confirm an open recall, FCA US LLC urges you to stop driving the vehicle immediately.

Jeep Recalls in Camp Springs Wrangler and Gladiator Fire Risk

A significant recall affecting over 1 million Jeep vehicles, specifically 1,076,999 units, covers the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator from model years 2021 through 2025. Fire-related recalls are among the most urgent because the hazard can develop without warning and escalate quickly.

NHTSA has logged 51 fires and one injury tied to this defect. If you own one of these Jeep models and haven’t confirmed your recall status, do not wait.

What Is Causing the Fire Risk in These Jeep Models

The fire risk in affected Wrangler and Gladiator models stems from an electrical issue in the power steering pump wiring. A loose or high-resistance connector can overheat and ignite. Jeep has advised owners to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until repairs are completed.

Warning signs to watch for include overheating, smoke, unusual smells, or a “Service Power Steering” warning light on your dashboard. If any of these appear, park safely outside and away from structures and contact us immediately.

Safety Precautions Jeep Owners Should Take Right Now

Until your vehicle has been inspected and repaired, avoid parking in an enclosed garage or near structures. Limit non-essential use. Check your recall status using the Mopar® VIN tool, NHTSA.gov, or CheckToProtect.org with your license plate.

Reach out to our service team to schedule your repair. We’ll walk you through exactly what the recall involves and handle everything from there.

Other Active CDJR Recalls to Know About

Beyond the Takata airbags and the Wrangler and Gladiator fire risk, several other Stellantis recalls are open right now. If you own one of these, the repair is free and our team can confirm your status by VIN.

Active recalls across the CDJR lineup include:

• Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe (plug-in hybrid) battery fire risk. Certain 2020–2025 Wrangler 4xe and 2022–2026 Grand Cherokee 4xe models can experience a high-voltage battery fire while parked or driving. Owners are advised to stop charging and park outside until repaired. The fix is a free software update and, if needed, battery replacement.
• Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid battery fire risk. Certain 2020–2022 Pacifica PHEV minivans carry a high-voltage battery thermal risk. Owners should park outside and avoid charging until the free battery-control software update is completed.
• Jeep Grand Cherokee side-airbag sensor. Roughly 419,000 2022–2026 Grand Cherokee and 2023–2025 Grand Cherokee L SUVs may have a software fault that could prevent a side airbag from deploying. The remedy is a free software update.
• Ram heavy-duty and pickup instrument cluster. Certain 2025–2026 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickups and cab-chassis trucks can have an instrument panel that goes blank at startup or while driving, hiding speed, gear, and brake warnings. Dealers update the software or replace the cluster at no charge.
• Ram 2500 stability control. Certain 2026 Ram 2500 heavy-duty trucks may lose electronic stability control due to a faulty steering column module, which raises crash risk during sudden maneuvers. The dealer repair is free.
• Jeep Wagoneer S and Cherokee trailer tow module. Certain 2024–2026 Wagoneer S and 2026 Cherokee vehicles may have a trailer tow module that lets trailer lights and brakes fail. Owners who tow should stop until the module is replaced free of charge.

Recall coverage is defined by exact build dates, not just model year, so two vehicles from the same year can differ.

How to Check If Your CDJR Vehicle Has an Open Recall

Checking for open recalls takes only a few minutes and requires your VIN, which appears on the driver-side door frame sticker or at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side.

Three ways to check:

• Enter your VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls
• Use a license-plate lookup at CheckToProtect.org
• Use the Mopar® VIN tool for brand-specific results

If you’d rather speak with someone, call our service department at (240) 492-7912. A trained advisor can confirm your vehicle’s status on the spot.
