NHTSA Campaign 17V640000

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE

Issued by Chrysler (FCA US LLC) · Reported Oct 10, 2017 · 363,930 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2012 Jeep Liberty and 2012-2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger vehicles. A component within the occupant restraint controller (ORC) may fail and prevent the active headrests from deploying in the event of a rear-end crash.

Consequence

If the active headrests do not deploy in certain rear-end crashes, the front seat occupants have an increased risk of injury.

Remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ORC as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2017. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is T56.
