Chrysler will be recalling an estimated 442,000 Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles due to an electrical problem in the occupant restraint circuitry. Because of an electrical overstress condition in a resistor within the occupant restraint control module, some vehicles may illuminate an airbag warning lamp that could cause the active head restraints to not deploy in certain rear impact collisions. Non deployment of the active head restraints during a rear impact collision could increase the risk of injury to occupants. The vehicles involved in the recall include:
- 2011-2013 Chrysler 200
- 2011-2013 Chrysler Sebring
- 2011-2013 Dodge Avenger
- 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro
- 2011-2012 Jeep Liberty
Owners wanting more information about the problem can contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753.
