P0441 on Your 2024 Durango: A Warranty Investigation
Your 2024 Dodge Durango — continuing the WD platform with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 (295 hp) or 5.7L HEMI V8 (360 hp) — has flagged P0441 for incorrect EVAP purge flow. On a brand-new three-row SUV, this is squarely in warranty territory. The EVAP system uses Stellantis's ESIM monitoring technology, and P0441 on a new vehicle typically points to a component defect or software calibration needing an update.
Symptoms You Might Notice
- Steady check engine light
- Normal power, AWD, and towing capability
- No changes to any cabin or safety features
- Possible faint fuel odor
Common Causes on a New Durango
1. ESIM Manufacturing Defect
The ESIM is Stellantis's most common EVAP failure point. A factory-defective unit doesn't properly monitor system pressure, causing the PCM to flag incorrect purge flow.
2. PCM Software Calibration
Stellantis releases EVAP monitor calibration updates regularly. A wiTECH 2.0 software flash can resolve false P0441 triggers without parts replacement.
3. Purge Solenoid Defect
A factory-defective purge solenoid that doesn't actuate properly under the engine's operating conditions.
4. Assembly-Line Connection
An EVAP vapor hose not fully seated during manufacturing. Simple to find and fix during a warranty visit.
