Concern

Passenger airbag inflator

Defect, as DVSA words it

In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the vehicle occupants and / or in worst cases a fatality. The concern is caused by moisture in the air getting past faulty seals and being absorbed by the pyrotechnic biscuits in the inflator. As a result it is more likely to occur sooner in areas of high humidity and high temperature difference.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the passenger front air bag module which includes the inflator.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Dodge DAKOTA in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Dodge DAKOTA is named on 3 American notices, 47 Canadian and 6 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The American register

The Canadian register

The European register

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Dodge elsewhere in this register

Dodge is named on 24 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: Passenger airbag inflator

11 notices in this register name Passenger airbag inflator. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Dodge Charger, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
