Why doesn’t this recall include the passenger side air bag as well? Is it because the incidence of defect or failure is less? If so, that could very well be due to a lower frequency of occupancy for the passenger side seat as opposed to the driver’s seat which obviously is always occupied in the event of a crash.
It may be covered in another recall.
Is that a definitive “maybe”?
My Chrysler dealer didn’t suggest that was the case.
