What Happened
The occupant restraint control module is a critical system in your vehicle that helps deploy your active head restraints during a rear impact. In certain models, this module can be damaged by electrical stress, which could prevent your head restraints from deploying properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're involved in a rear-end crash, and your head restraints don't deploy, you could be at greater risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will update the Totally Integrated Power Module or replace the occupant restraint control module, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
