What Happened
The occupant restraint control module in your vehicle is a critical safety system that helps control airbags and head restraints in a crash. In some 2011-2012 models, a resistor within this module can get overloaded, causing the head restraints to fail to deploy in a rear-end collision.
Risk if Unfixed
If the head restraints don't deploy when they should, you could be at a higher risk of injury in a rear-end crash. This is a serious safety issue that could lead to serious harm.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will update the Totally Integrated Power Module or replace the occupant restraint control module, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
