NHTSA recall 97V063002
Latches/Locks/Linkages · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: Excess lubrication can cause the rubber door latch switch cover to deform, and the door latch switch to malfunction, so that the shoulder belt anchorage would remain at the a-pillar when the door was closed.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.
The fix: Dealers will replace the door latch switch with a switch that utilizes reduced lubricating grease, improved contact surface, and a different rubber isolation boot.
