Inadvertent deployment of the airbags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash. |
Remedy:
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a supplemental jumper harness to the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during January 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. |
