What Happened
Your vehicle's Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module may not work properly, which could prevent your seat belt pretensioners and airbags from deploying in a crash.

If this happens, you and your passengers are at a higher risk of injury in a crash because your safety systems won't work as they should.
Free Fix
Chrysler will replace the OCR module for free at a dealership, and they've already sent you a letter to let you know that parts are on the way, with the recall officially starting on August 15, 2017.
