What this recall means for you
On certain 2001-2002 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus vehicles with beige interiors, a previous repair for a related recall used an incorrect part. That part may not keep the passenger-side sun visor attached if the passenger frontal airbag deploys while the visor is folded down in a certain position.
If the visor detaches, it can be propelled rearward, which raises the risk of injury to the passenger. Chrysler will notify affected owners, and dealers will install the correct tether strap to retain the passenger sun visor at no cost. Owners can also contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, and should expect a second email once parts are available. Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your car is affected.
