- Problem
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Jeep Wrangler vehicles manufactured June 16, 2015, to August 14, 2016. In certain crash conditions, the front impact sensor wiring may be pulled until it detaches before a signal can be received by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
- Risk
- If the ORC module does not receive a signal from the front impact sensor, both frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the front impact sensor wiring and relocate the impact sensor branch, free of charge. The recall began on November 10, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S76.
- 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
Certain vehicles have front impact sensor wiring that can be pulled loose during some crashes before the airbag control module receives its signal. If the signal is not received, the front airbags and seat belt pretensioners will not deploy, which raises the risk of injury in a crash.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will reroute the front impact sensor wiring and relocate the impact sensor branch at no cost to the owner. Owners can also contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
Check your VIN for open recalls to see whether your vehicle is affected and whether the repair is still pending. If it is, schedule the free repair at an authorized dealer.
