What this recall means for you
Certain vehicles were built without a side door beam, which is meant to protect occupants in a side impact. The tire placard may also list incorrect seating capacity. Without the door beam, the vehicle may not offer adequate occupant protection in a crash, and an incorrect seating capacity label can lead to the vehicle being loaded beyond what it should carry, which also raises the risk of injury in a crash.
The repair is free. Authorized dealers will install the missing door beam and apply an overlay label correcting the seating information. Owner notification letters were mailed August 1, 2024. To check whether your vehicle is included, check your VIN for open recalls, or contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number 53B.
