NHTSA recall 16E041000
Equipment · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: These mopar canvas seat covers were sold through Chrysler dealerships beginning October 15, 2015. The seat covers can impede the deployment of the seat thorax airbags.
Why it matters: If the seat cover impedes the air bag deployment, the seat thorax air bags may not provide adequate protection in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of a injury.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners to remove the front seat covers and return them for a full refund. The recall began on July 1, 2016.
