What Happened
The air bag control module in your vehicle is a critical computer that helps your front, side, and seatbelt air bags deploy properly. But in certain older Jeep and Dodge models, this module can fail due to electrical noise, causing the air bags to deploy unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bags deploy without warning while you're driving, you could be at risk of serious injury and potentially even a crash. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed right away.
Free Fix
Your authorized Chrysler dealer will replace the faulty air bag control module and side impact sensors at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and it's essential to schedule it as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
