Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 96,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Dodge Durango sits near the low end of the model's federal complaint and recall profile, with 33 complaints, 2 recalls, 0 investigations, and 299 TSBs. Compared with the prior three model years, it continues a downward trend from 2021's spike of 185 complaints and 7 recalls and 2022's 53 complaints and 6 recalls, while the 2024-2026 records show even lower activity as newer vehicles accumulate fewer reports. Across the generation since 2011, complaints and recalls peaked around 2014 (781 complaints, 11 recalls) and have trended downward since, making 2023 one of the cleaner recent model years in the data set. The leading 2023 complaint categories are Exterior Lighting (8), Fuel System/Gasoline (2), Electrical System (2), and Unknown/Other (2), with 2 crash-related complaints and 0 fire complaints, though the data does not specify root causes. Given its low complaint volume, minimal recalls, and position on the declining tail of the generation's reliability arc, a used 2023 Durango appears to be a comparatively good year to buy.
