RAM Promaster Recall 17V712: Side airbag may not deploy properly in a side crash

NHTSA campaign 17V712, reported November 14, 2017, 3,514 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A front door impact sensor may have been attached with an incorrect rivet. Over time, the sensor housing can crack or fracture, which could interfere with how the standard side airbags deploy in certain side-impact crashes. That raises the risk of injury to occupants.

Dealers will replace both front door impact pressure sensors and secure them with the correct rivets at no cost to you. Chrysler will also notify affected owners. If you have questions, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

To find out whether your vehicle has any open recalls, check your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup or with a dealer, and schedule the free repair at an authorized dealer.
