Details
What's wrong: Improper welds on the driver's knee air bag inflator may prevent the air bag from properly inflating.
Why it matters: If the driver's knee air bag does not properly inflate, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's knee air bag module, free of charge. The recall began November 9, 2016.
