NHTSA recall 13V233000
Air Bags, Electrical System, Seat Belts · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have a software error which may result in a delayed deployment or non-deployment of the seatbelt pre-tensioners and/or side airbags.
Why it matters: In the event of a rollover necessitating airbag deployment, the software error can lead to a delayed deployment or non-deployment of the side curtain airbag and/or seatbelt pre-tensioners. As a result, vehicle occupants have an increased risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will correct the software free of charge. The recall began June 21, 2013.
