Dodge Challenger Recall 15V282: Loose air curtain bolt may weaken side crash protection

NHTSA campaign 15V282, reported May 13, 2015, 72 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2015 Dodge Challenger vehicles built between March 28 and April 1, 2015 may have a loose or missing rear mounting bolt for the driver's side inflatable curtain air bag. This bolt holds the curtain in place, and if it is loose or missing, the curtain may not deploy as designed.

If the curtain deploys incorrectly, the risk of occupant injury increases in a side impact or roll-over crash. Because the problem affects how the protection works when it matters most, owners of affected vehicles should take it seriously.

The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the vehicle and repair it as needed at no charge. You can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number R22), and you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
