What this recall means for you
Certain 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles have seat strikers, the metal anchors that lock a seat in place, that may not hold up. The welds on the second-row seat strikers may fail in a front impact crash, and the front outboard strikers for the third-row bench seat may fail in a rear impact crash. The second-row seats may also not withstand the required loads.
If a striker fails, the seat or seat belt may not adequately restrain the occupant, which increases the risk of injury in a crash.
The repair is free. Dealers will weld a striker reinforcement bracket onto the second- and third-row outboard seat strikers. Chrysler will notify owners by mail. You can also contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall V91, and you should check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
