Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with two front bucket seats and no rear seating, manufactured July 25, 2012, to August 20, 2014. In the affected vehicles, road hazards such as potholes may cause the front passenger side curtain and/or seat air bags to deploy unexpectedly.

Why it matters: Inadvertent air bag deployment can increase the risk of crash or injury to the seat occupant.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the software in the occupant restraint control (orc) module, free of charge. The recall began October 3, 2014.
