Airbags, Airbags Vehicle recall #14V529000 · 2014 · 1,628 vehicles
What's wrong: Due to inaccurate seat position sensors, the frontal air bags May deploy with a lower velocity than designed for the actual seat position.
Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash necessitating air bag deployment, an air bag that deploys at a lower velocity than designed May increase the risk of personal injury.
The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a metal shim on the detection plate to correct the seat position sensor accuracy, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2014.
