CONSEQUENCE:

These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment.

An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

 

REMEDY:

Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners.

Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company.

Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge.

Chrysler mailed interim notices to owners on July 7, 2016.

Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available.

Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

Chrysler’s number for this recall is S43.

 

NOTES:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

  1. REF # 30135011: I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 that needs the passenger side airbag thrust mechanism replaced in accordance with this recall. It needs to be done now to make my vehicle safe.
    We’ve waited long enough for this recall to be given the attention it needs. What the sam hill is going on? Someone needs to get off their ass and get the equipment in house to make these repairs.
    Does it take us getting an attorney to get things done?
    I want an answer to this comment. Forthwith.
