- AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION; SEATS
- Problem
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to August 3, 2015. During service work, the affected vehicles may have had either the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) or the Seat Cushion Foam (SCF) of the front passenger seat replaced instead of the both pieces together, which make up a complete calibrated set.
- Risk
- If both pieces were not replaced together, the occupant detection and classification system may not be properly calibrated and the passenger air bag may improperly deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a new OCM-SCF seat service kit, free of charge. The recall began on May 27, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S09.
- 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.
What this recall means for you
Some front passenger seats in these vehicles may have had only one of two linked parts replaced during service: the occupant classification module or the seat cushion foam. These two parts are meant to be replaced together as a calibrated set. If they were not, the system that detects who is sitting in the passenger seat may not be properly calibrated.
If that happens, the passenger airbag may deploy improperly in a crash, which increases the risk of injury. Owners should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number S09), and check their vehicle's VIN for open recalls. The repair is free: dealers will install a new occupant classification module and seat cushion foam service kit.
