What this recall means for you
Some vehicles may be missing the B-pillar side impact sensors that tell the side air bags when to deploy. Without these sensors, the air bags may deploy later than intended or not deploy at all in a crash.
Air bags that do not deploy as intended raise the risk of injury in a crash. Owners should not wait to have this checked.
Authorized dealers will inspect the vehicle and, if needed, install the B-pillar impact sensors at no cost to you. You can also contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 with the recall number 33A, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
