What Happened
The occupant restraint control module in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps control the airbags and head restraints during a crash. In some 2011-2012 Sebring, 200, Avenger, Nitro, and Liberty models, this module can be damaged by electrical stress, which could prevent the active head restraints from deploying properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a rear-end collision and the head restraints don't deploy, you could be at a higher risk of head or neck injury.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will update the Totally Integrated Power Module or replace the occupant restraint control module, free of charge. This repair is urgent, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
