Details

What's wrong: A component within the occupant restraint controller (orc) may fail and prevent the active headrests from deploying in the event of a rear-end crash.

Why it matters: If the active headrests do not deploy in certain rear-end crashes, the front seat occupants have an increased risk of injury.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the orc as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2017.
