Details

What's wrong: The seat fasteners on the first or second row seats may not have been tightened to the proper torque specification.

Why it matters: Loose fasteners may allow the seats to move, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupants in the event of a crash.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seats or seat sets, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during September 2016.
