What this recall means for you
The passenger-side frontal airbag inflator in these vehicles can build up excessive internal pressure when the driver's airbag deploys, and the inflator may then rupture. If the passenger airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator could explode and send metal fragments toward the occupants, which can cause serious injury or death.
Owners are advised not to drive the vehicle until the recall repair is complete. The dealer will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator at no cost. If you have questions, you can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, referencing recall number V01. You can also check your vehicle's VIN for any open recalls.
