What This Recall Means

Component

SEAT BELTS:PRETENSIONER

What Happened

The seat belt pretensioner in your vehicle is a crucial safety device that tightens your seat belt during a crash. In certain models of your car, the control module that makes this happen could short circuit, preventing the air bags and seat belt pretensioners from working as they should.

Risk if Unfixed

If this happens, you could be at greater risk of serious injury in a crash, because the safety systems that are meant to protect you might not deploy as they're supposed to.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Chrysler dealer will replace the faulty control module for you, at no cost. You'll get a notification letter when parts are available, and they'll take care of the repair as soon as possible.
